Rented the proper gauge from O'Reilley and the fuel pressure regulator failed the test specified in the FSM. I bought a new regulator for $80 (with tax) and installed it. I took it for a test drive, and the engine ran normally. My DD is back in action for tomorrow morning's commute.

Thanks all, and especially OldMech, who nailed this diagnosis perfectly.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
