Fuel Pressure Slightly off?
Fuel Pressure Slightly off?
I searched and found the specs for the fuel pump psi at KOEO, Idle, and idle with vac line removed. The numbrs I was getting were as follows KOEO-38.5, idle-39, idle vac line removed-42psi. I know they are slightly out of spec but wanted to know if this was due to the reduced vacuum created by the hotcam? My Baro reading was 28.02 "hg and the map at idle was 2.25 volts which is around 15 "hg. That comes out to about 13"hg of vacuum. I do have the intake manifold leak which might reduce my vacuum as well I think. Its getting fixed this weekend. Any thoughts? Fuel filter was changed during the summer. Thanks

Was there any symptom? Or were you just checking?
If you feel it is low, you can also check to make sure you are getting full voltage at your pump... low voltage would produce less psi. Just an option. If there is no alarm, then I wouldn't worry about this.
