I suspect your gauge is reading a little on the high side as 44psi at idle should be normal. I would suspect that the fuel pressure is OK. A really good code reader can check fuel pressure from the engine monitors.

Try this with your pressure sensor still plugged in and the engine ice cold (in the morning). The fuel pressure should be zero. Try your normal start attempt, then see what the pressure is. If it is 20-30psi, the fuel has drained back to the tank and the line was empty. If the reading is 55psi, then the fault could be in the PEM.
