Pretty annoying to have to diagnose everything. Really fing annoying that you need some special banjo bolt with a valve to test fuel pressure - really dumb - it's a very basic test. Everything was looking OK, timing was good, consistent spark...
I hate to throw parts at a car but at some you have to do something so I got a fuel filter because I couldn't remember having ever done it before. For all I knew it had 190K on it, at least 120K.
So far everything seems good with the new filter! I have a lot of driving tomorrow so I'll know for sure.
Thanks for the suggestions, they really made sense and I was expecting a deeper dive...it really seemed like a timing belt jump or sensor issue. There was no gradual decline (which is why I'm still a little skeptical) that I would expect with maintenance items like a fuel filter or valve clearance.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
