What FP when system charged after AFPR installation?
I'm not trying to start it, just check the system for leaks, and there are none. But I don't get any pressure at all - gauge reads 0. The screw has been backed all the way out and finger tight + 1 turn per instal directions.
The old diaphram was ripped around the edges, so I know that was the problem. I hear the pump run for 3 seconds or so, but should I check for a bad fuel pump now? The rail is getting gas, but I don't know if it's enough.
I know what my stock pressure should be; I have the shop manual. Thanks for any input :seeya

Did you try with the AFPR screwed half way in? The accel will do this. When I first put mine on I had 0 till I screwed it in.

Yes, I tried it in various positions - all the way in tight, backed all the way out, and spots in between. I am going to play with it some more tonight.
I've noticed a strange sloshing sound after the fuel pump is done running after turning the key, which has never been before. I may have to post another thread pertaining to this - I may have air in the fuel system? Bad fuel pump? My FP test chart in the shop manual told me fuel pump was okay when the test was completed. I'm confused now. :confused: :seeya
