Re: Tbi swap build thread

Fuel pressure update....

I measured voltage at the pump....14 volts when I first start it and the gauge reads 10psi.....5 minutes later when the gauge reads 0psi there is still 14 volts at the pump. There is no voltage drop at the pump, warm or cold.

Took the truck for a short drive, just around the block because there is no plate or lights on it...strictly off road, and it ran fine...no hesation or stumbling.

I am thinking that it may be a bad fuel pressure gauge?

The pressure does climb when I pinch the supply or return line at the TBI.

Will replace the spring when it gets here just because the other one is old and I don't want to waste the srping.

I think I will get another gauge and see if that is the problem...if that does not work I will try a in-line pump added to the system.
