Engine loss of power, DiCE / VIDA says Fuel Pressure Sensor issues?

Hey folks, I need some help. Over the past couple of days the VR has had a few glitches.

First I was idling at a stoplight and the RPM dipped momentarily. I thought "Hmm, that was odd".
Later when I was starting to leave from a stop the engine stumbled momentarily. Again, "Hmm, that was odd".
Then this evening on the way home from work on the highway, at 70 MPH, the engine lost power for 5-10 seconds - I think - could have been shorter or longer, I was kinda freaking out as I was pushing the pedal down and nothing was happening, then abruptly the engine roared to life and I was accelerating aggressively due to the deep throttle position instead of slowing down as it had been doing. The rest of the drive home (couple miles) everything seemed fine.

When I got home I scanned the car and got the following results:

So I was hoping someone who's been there, done that can shed some light on what I'm looking at. It's obviously fuel related as I surmised from the way the engine acted on the highway, but is it the fuel pressure sensor or something else? Is there some troubleshooting I can do with VIDA, and if so, what/how? I'm new to this as my car has been relatively trouble free for the past 12 years.

It feels like you're ignoring what it's telling you... lol

Yeah, I just wanted to verify with those who have experienced this before that it was really the sensor and not a symptom of a something else such as a fuel pump issue.

Very common problem and very easy fix. Mine failed on me a few years ago. Shop around for a Bosch unit used in a Land Rover - same as the one used in our cars and cheaper, IIRC.

FYI, the Bosch part is available from FCP Euro for $64, which is significantly cheaper than what I found for the Land Rover part.

Yeah I saw that but I don't have an ebay account, plus the FCP Euro part has a lifetime warranty so if it ever goes bad again I can get a free replacement.

I have a used good one from my 06 S60R that was replaced as part of some unnecessary trouble shooting at about 50k miles 20.00 shipped its yours.
