TBI low fuel pressure.

Hey guys. I installed a t fitting on my fuel line today because I've been suspicious of the fuel pressure on my 89 TBI Firebird. I'm getting 7.5 psi at idle. (I replaced the fuel filter btw)

So... does it mean my pump is near the end?

Yep,or the coupler hose inside the tank has gone soft and blown out-either way you need to drop the tank..It is common to install a TPI pump as an upgrade

Plugged up fuel filter could cause this as well.
