2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fuel Pressure Guage

[sadlbum]

My FP guage is suddenly staying at 4. 5. It doesn't fluctuate. If the lift pump was out and the VP was pulling fuel, wouldn't it still fluctuate a bit? Or would it read 0? Worried about the VP-44. Oh, Autometer guage is only 6-8 months old. Thanks guys, RC.

With behavior like that, there's a 95% chance the gauge is at fault. When in doubt, get a second opinion by connecting a mechanical fuel pressure test gauge to the VP44 inlet and verify it that way.



Best regards,

Well, the plot thickens. Had a not quite dead peddle but a hesitant peddle. Parking it and ordering a raptor from Blue Chip Monday AM.

Good Choice I had a dead peddle while driving and hoped i could make it home... umm needless to say that didn't happen and tow and new injector pump was the answer.

I've seen repeated Autometer guage failures. I won't use them. I've got one in my '03 that's stuck at 5psi at the moment, and it's not even plugged in!!! IT was a warranty repair to replace the customer's I had to repair after 3 weeks, or it wouldn't be in there, either!!! I just couldn't resell it for fear it would fail, and guess what?!??! It almost made a year... . Replaced the customer's with Isspro and had much better luck... .



On hesitant pedal, did you run codes?? It could be bad APPS..... just a thought... .
