This has been bothering me for a while now, even though its not really a big deal i still want to know why this is happening and if i can fix it. Anyways heres the situation. About a month or so back i put on my fullthrottle fpr install went pretty smooth no problems or anything really. Went to start the car and it took a second or more longer than normal to start up. It never used to do this it would always be just turn the key and start right up. Anyways another thing i noticed is that usually when i turn the car of the fuel pressure drops right back down to 5-0 psi suggesting there really is no fuel pressure when the engine is off, and likewise no fuel pressure when its time to start it up. Something else that happened was when doing the install i kind of forgot to release the engine of all the fuel pressure so when i disconnected the fuel feed line from the fuel rail fuel went spraying everywhere...yeah not a good thing... but still it didnt mess anything up and like i said car still started up, and you would think that after the start up the fuel pressure will build right up and stay up when shut off for the next restart. So yeah anyone deal with this, and what should i do to fix this. Sorry for the lengthy post
