To put it simply the needle on the fuel pump gauge jumps around at idle. That makes it really hard to set the fuel pressure to stock level. The needle does this with my bbk gauge(liquid filled), & the gauge that's hooked up in the video(non liquid filled)<br /><br />At idle the pressure is jumping from 28-34psi with vacuum line attached. With the vacuum hose pinched it goes to bouncing from 36-42psi. When revved it will jump to around 40 then drop down to a steady 20psi then return to bouncing around at the same numbers as above.<br /><br />If I turn it up much more it will sit at 50psi steady @ idle. If I turn it down much more it will go to around 20psi @ idle & run super lean.<br /><br />My fuel system is as follows:<br />Aeromotive 340lph in tank pump, wix fuel filter, factory lines from tank to engine bay, sn95 fuel rails, fms 42lb injectors, aeromotive adjustable 1:1 rising rate fpr.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2014-02-24, 09:46 AM: Message edited by: FivePTSlow ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FivePTSlow</b> <br /><small>Member # 7682</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(2014,1,24,16,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Changed the fuel filter today, still does the same thing. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>70 5.0Merc</b> <br /><small>Member # 13369</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(2014,1,24,20,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> My fuel pressure gauge bounced around like yours.
