Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) another fuel line replacement question....

[shendren]

so, has anyone had the stealer do it? what does it cost? i'm not looking forward to doing it myself.



also, is 100k mi too early to replace the return valve? or do you guys wait until symptoms show up? i don't have a fuel pressure guage.



speaking of fuel pressure guage... . where does one have to tap for that? thanks. scott.

i ask about the fuel pressure guage because i picked up a fuel pressure adapter from tst the last time i was in columbus. on their website it says for temporary use. do you need to permanently monitor fuel pressure? if so, i assume the adapter is useless and i need a more permanent location to monitor from?

thanks. scott.

A quick check for the overflow valve is to pinch your return hose with a pliers or something similar while engine is running. If idle speed increases the overflow is bad. If it stays the same you are OK.
