This was at the same time as the Supercharger and high-vol fuel pump were installed.<br /><br />The gauge stopped working recently. Before I start pulling stuff apart, I was hoping someone could give me a clue as to where the sensor is. Do the high-vol pumps (I think it was a T-rex or something like that) have a built-in pressure sensor, or will one be fitted inline somewhere? Work was done by Apex about '99.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /> Chris. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 1527</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,5,17,14,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It's probably on the fuel pressure regulator.
