Low fuel pressure
I have a 97 TA that has starting problems. It is only reading 20 psi of
fuel pressure. This should be higher, right? If so, would it be more likely to have a regulator problem or pump problem? Thanks! |

Re: Low fuel pressure
It should be higher...I suspect it's the pump. The 85-94 firebirds had about 45 psi of fuel pressure and I don't see why they would have gone lower in the later years.

Re: Low fuel pressure
How are you testing it ?. Is it running while you test it?

Re: Low fuel pressure
I tested it running and with just the key on. 20 psi is all
I can get out of it. BTW, the fuel pump is about a yr old, I know how these aftermarket fuel pumps are. About a yr seems to be all ya get. Is there any way to test the regulator? |

Re: Low fuel pressure
Update...I checked the pressure again and noticed that
after I shut the engine off and walked away for about 10 minutes the pressure had risen from 20 to 35 psi. Now I`m thinking that the fuel filter is clogged? |
