Default Cold start issues ‘89 C4

Hey guys! I have a link below to my video of my cold start fuel pressure. Could someone tell me if this is normal? New Delphi fuel pump and sender.

Hi Frank,

Welcome. I would expect that the pressure would go down a little slower following the prime. Also, the pressure during idling is hovering around 32 which is a tad on the low side. Prime the pump and pinch the return line to see if it holds prime pressure longer. Could be your regulator.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Default Ty Dusty,

Was leaning towards that, will swap out and recheck pressure
