I Need Help Fast
Ok heres the problem
I pulled into the garage and decided to pop the hood and check the fuel press. well it was bouncing around alot then it dropped to 1 psi. I turned off the car and kept the pump running and it was still at 1 psi. its not leaking anywheres and the pump is running its just not pumping anything. Whats the deal. The pump is only like 7 mths old. I was hoping to get my car out to the track tommorow but if i dont have fuel pressure its not gonna happen. what could it be Please help ASAP

It could be the gauge. If the pressure dropped to 1 psi, the engine would have stalled on it's own.
Take care, -Chris

Could be the sending unit. No EFI or carbed car will run on 1psi of fuel pressure.

its a mechanical gauge right on the regulator but. i think im going to try and see if i can find a new gauge or even just something to test it because while the car will run for a little bit without the fuel pump i know the pump has done it before and ive made it home without incident.
