Lately my car has been acting up. At about 3k rpm it sputters a little. It's not like the 3k rpm hesitation thing b/c my first FD had it so I know it's not it. Another thing is that my fuel pressure guage isn't reading correctly. It's moving up and down crazily so I can't monitor my fuel pressure. The gauge on my fuel pressure regulator is dead so I can't monitor it from their either. What would be the ideal fuel pressure at idle? WOT?

Thanks for any help.

 

when last did you change your filter(s)?

 

with that description, it could be anything.

 

You answered your own question in your description. If your fuel pressure gauge is being sporadic and all over the place then there is a breach in the fuel system that is causing it to depressurize.

I would go into your trunk, pull out the fuel pump and check where the fuel pump mates up with the metal pipe. If yours is still connected stock (using an O-ring to seal), try getting some hose and connecting both ends and clamping it down.

 

idle = 38-40psi
then 1:1

 

Check filter, check pump as well as voltage to it, check lines, if possible, swap in another regulator they can go bad as well.

 

he could also have a bad fuel pressure sender or bad wiring...

 

All of the normal posible faults have been listed.

If they fail, then: it is an affect caused by living too close to the Bermuda Triangle!

 

awesome fellas!! I'll check these things out as soon as it stops raining.

 

so how did it go?
