Thanks for all the suggestions. I Followed Ken Lewis's advice on building a fuel pressure gauge for under $10. It worked like a charm. Pressure at rail was 95 psi. Pump is fine, fuel pressure regulator is shot. New one ordered, problem solved (this one anyway.) I guess the sound I heard must have been the pressure limiter inside the pump. Thanks again. > Question: Do I have another bad pump, or is there something else I should > check? If I do have another bad pump, could something have caused it that I > should fix also? |
