Missing/Shaking at idle...
Been happening for a few months, have changed MAP sensor, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, CTS, and o2 sensor.
Fuel pressure...
Key On: 64-65
Leak Down: Doesn't go below 58-60 (20 minutes)
Running: 60-62
Decided to pull plenum, and it looks washed-out, but cannot find any fuel leaking.

OK, engaged the pump to run with test wire for 30 seconds to 1 minute, still no leaks or fuel spray anywhere?
Is it possible to check the FPR besides engaging the pump?
Also maybe a dumb question, but can you do a compression test with the plenum off?

Here's what I found once on the spiders:

And yes, You can do a compression test with plenum off.

The best injector system tests are fairly complicated and/or expensive. The things that the average DIY’er can do are:
The pressure test in the sticky
Open the upper intake manifold as you have done for a visual inspection
Inspect the spark plugs for signs of a lean or rich condition
Look at fuel trims under different conditions for evidence of trouble
If you want to further analyze your injectors you can do an injector balance test. This involves pulsing each injector in sequence with a pulse generator box while watching the drop in fuel pressure to see how the injectors are functioning. Another assessment of the health of the injection system involves looking at live oscilloscope traces. You can see poor function in the “pintle hump” and other waveform elements but this is out of reach of the typical DIY mechanic.
It is because of this that most people just replace the injector spider if malfunction is suspected. If you decide to go this route, read up on the upgrade option.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm going to go ahead and replace the spider assembly. Looks like it is the original one, probably should be replaced anyway.
Anyone no where I can get new bolts for the plenum?
I searched and cannot seem to find anyone that sells them.
