Correct Fuel Pressure
Does anyone know what that the fuel pressure should be in a 97? What is the fuel pressure(s) for idle in park, giving gas, etc.?

When the ignition switch is ON and the fuel pump is running, the fuel pressure indicated by a fuel pressure gauge should read 55-61 psi (380-420 kPa). The spring pressure inside the fuel pressure regulator controls this pressure. If the pressure falls below 55 psi, a lean condition could result. If it exceeds 61 psi, it may run rich. 75 psi is specified as the level at which damage could occur to the fuel system.
