Default fuel inj cleaner !!

i jus ran sum thru the vette and i now have sum back pressure as i open the gas cap.Before i had no pressure at all. Is this a sign of inj's jus needing cleaned or am i still needing to replace them, as my fuel pressure gauge on the shrader valve still goes to 0 in no time!! I need you 2 cents :yesnod:

Open the gas up? The cap? I am not sure what you are saying for sure.. If you are saying that you have been having a problem with you fuel lines not holding pressure it could be a few things like, Injectors are leaking, one way valve is bad on the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator is bad. If you injectors are bleeding off right after you turn the car off you should be able to tell if the car starts rough for a few seconds..

How fast does the pressure bleed off??? I just ordered my new fuel pump because mine when the key was turned on pressure hit 40 then back to zero within 3 seconds.. Bad check valve in the fuel pump.. I would say if it is a fast leak then thats probably the demon. Just my two cents
