fuel pressure good?

what should be the fuel pressure at WOT?

seems that at idle it is fine but i get 50 psi at WOT, is this enough?

only those with an inside fuel guage will know this i believe

thanks a lot

According to the book:

1. disconnect battery
2. connect fuel pressure guage to the fuel main pipe and plug the outlet of the fuel pressure guage as shown (install clamps as shown) ------ basically, put the guage between the main hose and the hardline , near the oil stick.
3. connect negative battery
4. connect diagnosis connector terminals F/P and GND with a jumper wire.
5. turn the ignition on and measure the fuel pressure

FUEL PRESSURE: 490-740kPa (71-106 psi)
6. Turn ignition off and disconnect wire

oddly enough, it goes on to give the same instruction to "measure the maximum pressure". the only difference is that it say the pressure should be: "71-107 psi" -
