When testing the fuel system for leaks...by using the jumper wire in the diagnostics box...should the fuel pressure reg show pressure on the gauge?

 

The FPR should show pressure whenever the fuel pump is ON, engine running or not.

 

got cha, hmmmm. I wander why it wasn't....maybe the lines just take a little while to pressureize. I didn't let it sit on for that long.

 

It shouldn't. You should have full fuel pressure within a second or two.

 

Dumb question, but you turned the key on, yes?

 

I turned the ignition to the accessory position...I think thats what it is...the one right before it actually turns over.

 

IF you are not getting fuel pressue then you have the fuel lines hooked up wrong going to the FPR.

The line that goes to the secondary fuel rail is hooked up on the right side of the reg...and the line coming out of the bottom is going to the hard line on the rear of the engine. I believe it's the return line.

 

Is that wrong??

 

Hey,
Sent you a PM

 

Thanks jason, that fixed it, when doing the test when the car is off I am getting 10 PSI...what should it be at? Do I need to file it down more?

 

i've heard people say PSI should be anywhere from 30-40psi at idle

yep

 

I know it should be at 42 PSI...Could I have tightened the banjo bolt too tight, and it is not lineing up right?
