No fuel pressure?

[Glliw]

Hey guys, I think I'm not getting much fuel pressure. What could be the consesuences of very low fuel pressure?

Lets see...low fuel pressure means lower amounts of fuel. Low amounts of fuel means a lean condition. Lean condition in the motor means....oh thats right. Detonation!

BTW, I've got a house down in PCB and we're traveling down soon. Weather still nice there?

no rain for weeks, and none coming for another week. Ok so i plan to keep that motor off until i can get someone with an ounce of intelligence to look at it.

Well, tell you what: pull the injectors and get some bottles and check to see if they're squirting fuel (simply put the injectors in the bottles, there's a thread on it somewhere...). Check the fuel lines to make sure they're not leaking. Make sure your fuel pump is pumping. Double check the vacuum lines to your FPR. Also, you have a logger...what's it saying? And what made you think you're losing fuel pressure in the first place?

And good for the weather! No rain means the lagoon is clear. I wanna do some diving out near shell island and I don't wanna have to fight the seaweed!

What make you think the fuel pressure is low? Fuel pressure gauge?

I'm scared to start the car again, because of how rough its running. Don't want to dig a deep deficit. What makes me think I'm losing the pressure is because I tried putting in new injectors myself and I think I over torqued the fuel rail and heard a small pop. All the o-rings and spacers are intact. However, I cannot find the crack anywhere.

Use the fuel pump check connector on the firewall to power the pump on without turning the engine on so you can hunt for leaks.

Thanks, Oldman!

if you happened to turn it on see if your sparkplugs indicate a lean condition because therefore it couldve been a problem that got worse over time.

Thanks, Oldman!

No problem.

Did you ever get this resolved?

 

[Glliw]

Not yet, I've been working horrendous hours. But I have a few ours this morning. What do I power the fuel pump check connector with?

Half way through the article.

I hate to bring this back, but I finally got some time to get to it, and I can't seem to find the fuel pump tester. I believe the picture given was of a 1g. Could someone please take a pic of one on a 2g?
