BowTie Eater 5 Liter · 06-18-2005, 04:24 AM

fuel pressure is about 30 at idle.

when i shut it off, the fuel pressure drops fast, i clamped off the return line with a pair of vise grips, cycled the key(it showed 49psi) 2 hours later it was over 35 still, i didnt pinch the line too hard, as i didnt want to damage it, but when i unclamped it, the fuel pressure dropped fast eanough to watch it move on the gauge.
tomorrow i will replace the regulator(should i buy a stock one or is it worth it to get an aftermarket one for a stock motor?) and if that doesnt do it, ive got a spare fuel pump.
