fuel pressure sending unit
what fuel pressure sending units are you guys using off the fuel rail?
I think my fuel pump is starting to give up the ghost. wide band is showing it going really lean at times. starts running rough and surging. I still have my ECS stage 1 fuel system and Alki kit to install. Just been too hot. Now this problem has popped up and I need to monitor fuel pressure before I go installing fuel system upgrades and cover up a failing fuel pump.
Hot or not, I gotta figure this out before I beat on the car anymore.

Will screw onto Schrader valve. I know a few people running it. I'm running a different version but same basic sensor.

My aeroforce one died. Need to get a new one to screw into the top of my aeromotive regulator.

I'm using this one on mine. 1/8 NPT though, I think that's what it actually is. I always think they're 1/4 but they're 1/8

Its 1/8" NPT. The aeroforce sensors are not know for reliability, so might order that. Then again I never look at or care about FP anymore really, so might hold off and just plug it.

Never had a problem with mine yet. I seem to remember something about if you unplug the gauge or HPT while it's still powered it screws them up. That was with early ones. I believe they fixed that at some point.

Yep, gauge on the rail just allows you to set base pressure, it doesn't help once the car is moving. I rather be able to see it on the gauge or HP tuners, then again I think FP is far over rated if you have an AFR gauge.
I have no idea how long my sensor has been dead, because I never actually watch it. Don't even have FP displayed on the dash.
