Yeah. It's in the free, online FSM for your car. See the FAQ thread at the beginning of this second gen site. FUEL section. of the online FSM.
There's also a SEARCH device at the top of this page. Do an advanced search and just for second generation cars. Put in FUEL PRESSURE for your search words. There will be at least a dozen *hits*.

~29psi at idle, 34-40PSI under full load and 70-90PSI at full pressure from the pump.

according to the FSM pages 4B 70-71

the description is about as accurate as you will get from the FSM unless you have the special tools they use to perform the test, which no one here has.

full load according to the test they peform is atmoshperic pressure so under boost expect to see higher fuel pressure readings, however there is no numbers for boost related fuel pressure so if that is where you point me to being wrong well find some info and post it up.

maybe rewired aftermarket pumps.

as said though the full load PSI may be a little higher, the FSM really doesn't give any info on full load testing just a "driving test" spec of 34-40PSI which doesn't mention boost.

the reson y i asked the qestion in the first place was because i'm getting alot of extra fuel in the oil system, but the car doesnt burn any more than a normal amount o oil and i think its the fuel pressure regualtor. so i want to get an aftermaket adjustible one so i can have my car run a little richer than normal and replace the stocker.

if you are getting fuel in the oil then it may be getting too much fuel pressure as it is so adding more would just make the problem worse, as well the car would need to be leaned out to compensate for the extra fuel.

only other main reason for fuel in the oil is side seal clearances are near out of spec or worn irons.

flooding is also a main cause of dilluted oil, has the car been flooded out recently?

So now your acting like you know teh anser and you still didnt tell gear_grinder teh rite numbers. Pluse now ur making up stuff about load. Dang dood why you gotta post wrong numbers?

i rounded off dipshit, sue me.

reading your posts makes my head hurt, i wish kids would stay in school and actually learn **** these days..

how easy is it to read 28.4psi on a fuel gauge? guess what? i read in FULL numbers like 28 or 29PSI.

i bet now you're gonna bust my chops because 28PSI is closer than 29 when rounding off 28.4PSI... how about you just screw off and mind your own business instead of just trolling and not helping?!

funny thing is i bet you're all excited that you caught me reading the FSM. yea i do that now and then to help people out because my memory isn't a rock like some people's is. you will often see me checking it while i am working on a car to double check myself. it's better to correct your mistakes than to make them out to be fact like so many others around here do.

so how 'bout you just bugger off.
