fuel pressure wavering +- 1 lb..
fuel pressure wavering +- 1 lb..
ok.. my fuel pressure will jump between like 41 and 43 psi.. like the needle will like jump back and forth at a max of about 1 psi.. (with the vaccum hose disconnected..) and at the same time you can FEEL a ticking in the guage when u are holding it that follows the needle movement. the injector tick pretty loudly also. but i heard that was just a sign of good working injectors. oh and also the pressure doesn't always jump back and forth.. like usualy only once its warmed up or been idling for a few minutes.. could this be the sign of a stuck injector??

Do you have a fluid filled fuel pressure gauge? If not it is normal for the guage to fluctuate.
but this isn't like permament mounted guage or anythiing.. this is while holding it in my hand.. and i can also feel the ticking that goes along with the needle movement.. and also it doesn't also move.. just at certain times...

Mine does that too. I'd imagine the pulsating is just when the injectors fire. Remember on our cars they fire 4 at a time, which seems would create that less then more pressure occurance.
I've also heard that it can be a sign of a weak fuel pump, but I've been driving it for a few years like this now.
