Re: Important Update!!

Yea, I worked on unplugging it tonight and I just found a kink in the hose, back by the fuel tank. So, there really wasn't a clog at all. The more pressure I put into the line, the harder it would kink. So I just crawled under the car and shortened the rubber hose. It seemed like it was a bit too long and that made it easier to kink up. Oh well.....it happens. I hope this post will help a lot of you folks out there. I spent 86 bucks at a shop, to find out that. They ran a fuel pressure test on it and it was pumpin 60 PSI!! Holy shit!! It's supposed to be, between 16 and 23 pounds.
When your fuel pressure is that high, then your FPR is no longer functionable and that's because the excess fuel pressure, just keeps it wide open. I took it out for a 31.6 mile drive and the needle on the fuel guage barely moved. It looks like a BIG improvement.
