Tony, I am certainly not claiming to be an expert on this issue which is why I phrased my reply "I understand that". I had read a couple of posts that said remove the bottom hose and if there is fuel there the FA is bad. Replacing the FA in my situation fixed the problem. Maybe it was just dumb luck!

Detach the bottom connection for the fuel accumulator after the FP has ran and fuel would be draining out from the fuel line and FA. A fuel accumulator could be tested and would take only several seconds to confirm whether it is good or bad.
