Man, I must have just missed this post before i left. thats why i posted that other one. damn- Well after going to my mechanic (not the guy who installed it this time; a guy who does work for me on the side) I believe we figured out what the problem was. I arrived at his house at 9:30 and left at 1:00 in the morning. It turns ou that one of the solenoids wasnt working and the fpr needed adjusting. He disassembled the one bad solenoid and he thought it may have been caught up or something, then reassembled it. It worked fine after that. He also saw that there wasnt continuity with the hobbs switch. He adjusted the thing to where we saw continuity and then that worked. (this may not make any sense as it really didnt to me either last night

). anyways, we set the fuel pressure at 44 to make sure there was enough fuel, if i need to i can back it off to your recommended 38. I drove it home last night and it seemed to work

I gave my mechanic 40 bucks which i think is cheap for the aggrevation that I went through (plus he said he only wanted 20 bucks). So i think I will keep the fuel pressure at 44 for the time being UNLESS you think i should drop it to 38 for sure

the gauge IS located on the schrader valve as well. I must have meant under the hood, not car.

Thanks for all your help SImi, I really appreciate it

hopefully this will be the last post from me about this topic. If you could answer my LASt question (haha) about that fuel poressure, that would be great. Take care,
***** I actually just went and changed the pressure so it runs at 39-40 psi. I figured you would say to lower it anyways*******

Thanks again,

Jim
