Obviously you need to do it with your car on.
No accessories running.

ok, ive been fiddling with the fuel pressure, and it seems no matter what psi i set it to, anywhere from 25 to 40 psi at idle, the car still runs rich. why is that?

How do you know the car is running rich? Unless you are throwing P0175 codes you aren't too rich.
Your AFR should be deep in the 11s most of the time while you're running wide open.

I'll see your depression and raise you a new car.
Glad to see your trying to sort out your problem though.. With tearing everything apart let us know if you find Jimmy Hoffa's finger or Monica Lewinsky's semen sponge.

Doesn't matter what it says when the car is off.
What gauge do you have?

Please tell me the gauge isn't mounted inside the cabin.
38psi static? You should be adjusting your static fuel pressure. Not in vacuum.

Okay then it is an airflow problem. If the car was too rich you would be storing P0175s. Clearly it isn't too rich in closed loop so I don't think fuel is the problem. If the car stalls while going in to neutral it could very well be a IAC valve problem.
Did you ever purchase the scan tool? The ScanGaugeII is a good product that will display everything you need.
