Fuel Pressure Issues
Specific diagnostic readings:
FP at idle (18 inches Hg) 39 psi
FP at '0' vacuum 47 psi
FP at 5lbs boost 47 psi (should be 47 plus 5 = 52).
FP at 10lbs bost 47psi (s/b 47 plus 10 = 57 psi)
I have tested the FP regulator at idle - applying 10lbs pressure with mityvac gives 57psi at the pod guage.
I have tested and fixed all vacuum leaks (I had a couple of slow leaks due to old connectors) - all vac lines from intake hold pressure without leaking down.
I cleaned all harness connections and earth connections plus the positive wire 'cluster' behind the batter. voltage at the FP connector at idle is 13.6V.
I replaced the fuel pump with a new Walbro (thanks Greg)
I replaced the fuel filter as a maintenance item 2,000 miles ago. I am going to replace it again.
Now I am at a loss what the problem could be. I suspect maybe a fuel line blockage, but I am very suspicious that the FP does not track with boost at all.
Any suggestions appreciated!
