Engine cutting out on me.

Engine cutting out on me.
So for the past while my 2003 feels like it's low on power/ engine cutting out/ engine stuttering. When I put a fuel pressure gauge on it for about three days I had it on it never stuttered or cut out so the fuel pressure was constant. The fuel psi was around 48-50 psi. I can't figure this out. I want to say it's the fuel pump but I don't know.

I had a fuel pump go bad in an old minivan I had and it never gave me any codes either. That seems to be common on many vehicles. Also, crank position sensors often give no codes when they start to act up. Sometimes they go completely dead and never give a code.
With your fuel pressure readings looking good, the CPS might be a good direction to look. When the CPS signal stops, the computer thinks the engine is not running, basically. It will shut down the fuel pump, ignition and injector pulse.

These are all good things to check too. Much better to check and/or clean things than to throw a bunch of parts at it.
