this on the 82 with TPI

replaced the pump.. and its running. im getting 45 psi at the rail with key on but engine off... when i go to start the car it drops to below 30 psi and car runs for maybe 2-3 seconds then dies.... is there maybe air in the line? maybe i have a kinked line?

ive been trying to get it to stay running for maybe 15 mins and it still trys to run then dies... i dont know what else to do

when i have the key on but engine off i hear gurgling at the fuel rail.. you think maybe my fuel pressure regulator went out? CAN they go out? lol

i just wanna go throw the car off a cliff

 

What happens if you keep the pedal pressed a bit? Does it stay running? Or does it die no matter what?

Are there any codes? What is the idle speed at (if you can get it to idle)?

 

if i press the pedal at all it dies faster. its was throwing codes when i had it running. but none that kept the check engine light on. im really thinking its the fuel pressure regulator..

 

May be a plugged fuel filter. Kinked line is also a possiblity. Alot of times a pressure regulator will have the diaphram break but they dont hold when that happens.
