Fuel pressure = zero psi?
Started my car last night, and it ran weak until it died (like it ran out of gas). Checked the fuel pressure today and it is 0 psi- I expected a least some fuel pressure-
Just posting this as a sanity check- If the fuel pump died, and I tried to start it a few times, I assume that would deplete the fuel pressure, hence the 0 psi?
Am I missing anything, or is it time to order a walbro?

When I turn the key to the ON position, I can hear the fuel pump prime: click on - 2 seconds - click off.
This indicates to me that there aren't electrical problems as far as fuses and relays go- It suggests mechanical failure - the pump.
Right?

How did you measure the fuel pressure? Did the gauge you used have a pin in it to depress the core on the Schrader valve? If you prime the pump and depress the core of the Schrader, does fuel squirt out?

I primed the pump 2x and checked again: No fuel comes out when I depress the button to release the pressure on the tester, and nothing comes out when I depress the core of the schrader.

Take the fuel filter off and then turn the key forward and see if any fuel comes out the line.

I replaced the fuel filter for some preventative maint while waiting for the pump to arrive from Summit...
EDIT: Replaced the pump and all is good again.
