  • Fuel pressure

    What is stock fuel pressure supposed to be? At idle and WOT.
    My idle pressure was reading a solid 50psi. I didnt get to go WOT before i was having problems with the schraeder leaking.

    Re: Fuel pressure

    Our rail pressure is supposed to be 42.5 IIRC. Although it varies from vehicle to vehicle. Mine at idle seems to be right at 40 or so; maybe a bit higher. I think you'd probably be fine with 50 psi, so long as you maintain that as you accelerate. I usually only hit 50 or a bit higher at WOT. Maybe your pump is an overachiever. Lol.

        After my Walbro 255 install my PSI reads 48-50 PSI and now 7 years later about 46-48 PSI , might move up to 52 PSI at WOT but thats fine.

          hmm...Ive had spikes up to 60/70 at idle, and had it sit there. Most of the time I idle at around 40-50, and at WOT I am at almost 70... this is with a stock fuel pump.

            If thats the stock pump and you don't have a aftermarket FPR then your FPR might be going out on ya. I 've only seen mine that high with a FMU and running boost.

                If you get too much you'll run rich all the time and even flood out the plugs , I would check your vac. line on the FPR on the fuel rail. You could have something in the sender unit making it read higher too , so thats something to look at, I would think you would be having alot of problems if running 70 PSI N/A , stock says 45 idle and 55 at WOT , give or take some PSI. Whats your VAC. at , mines at -16 with my VS cam at idle and about -20 if i go 55 MPH and let off the gas. Stock I think is -18 and -22.

                  48-55 psi (ignition ON)
                  3-10 psi loss at idle

                  Copied from the Techinical Database link at the top. Dur. So it's 4 bar like an LS1 car.

                      its only spiked up there a couple times, most of the time its around 40-50 at idle...not sure what caused the spikes.

                      No idea what my vac is, never tested it, and I dont have a tester for it.

                      I would think that my tune would take care of being rich all the time...mind you this could explain why I am at 2-3% cylinder fill on some of the low vacuum columns in some of my VE cells
