I forgot how much PSI the fuel pressure is supposed to be at for a 5.0L when the vaccuum is disconnected? I could check the Jeeps but its out of gas [Frown]

FWIW the pressure that fuel injectors are rated at is 43.5psi.

Actually what I meant is that at 43.5psi a 42# injector will flow 42lb/hr. At a lower pressure it will flow less and at a higher pressure it will flow more. You can typically run injectors up to 65+psi without issue.

To calculate what an injector wil flow at a pressure different than 43.5psi you need to use the following formula:
