Chris,

Yes I do have a mech gauge. Thanks for letting me know about this. This fuel system was given to me with the car so I had a bad feeling about it. It's one of the old style Cartech systems that REALLY loud while running...which makes me think that I should start saving for a new pump soon. I will replace the reglator ASAP and check to see if pressure is maintained after I shut down the car with the new one. Didn't Aeromotive make Cartech products?? If so, I should be able to contact them or get a new regulator through Summit.

I didn't know that pressure was to be maintained but now that you mention it it makes a lot of sense. This is probably my reason for my costant starting problems. And when I turn the key to ignition I've lerned that I need to wait until I hear the pump "build pressure" before I start her.

Also, the steel braided fuel line has spots on it where it looks like it's brown or been burnt, but isn't leaking. Is this a problem also??

Regarding engine oil....I saw that Mobil 1 offers a 15-50 formula for "performace driving", should I use that and if not what do you recommend for a new engine with 800 miles on it?

Thanks for the help once again!
