FPR or FUEL PUMP? need help please.

[DSMstatus]

ok guys, lately my long term has been around +10% which means im running lean and the ecu is tryind to dump more fuel in the engine, so anyway, i pinched off the fuel return line and after a little while the lt went to about 0 just like it should, so i was wondering if my pump is getting weak or if my fpr is leaking? p.s. my entire fuel system is stock.

nobody has a suggestion?

i would say its yournfpr, just get a new one anyway (adjustable), not that much cost, and you can controll it instead of pinching hoses

ok, one more question, can i keep it pinched while i drive until i get a new one or will it hurt something to have the return pinched off.

I had a 255 Fuel pump first, then got my FPR... I should have done that the other way around.

Gas mileage will blow if you cant keep your pressure inline. Atleast mine "DID".

so is it safe to drive with the return line pinched?

 

[snowmansdsm09]

No comment on that... i dont know %100 yes or no .

i say its safe to do it but thats a pretty ghetto rigged way of doing things and you cant be sure of how much your pinching off. you want to know whats going on, so just go buy a afpr, look at ebay for some deals.

Just to keep in mind, Mickey Mousing anything is not good. I found that the hard way. Cost me a good amount of money to get fixed to. A FpR does not cost alot...at all. I actually have one that I'm willing to sell pretty cheap. If your still interested, just hit me up.
