Checking Fuel Pressure?
Checking Fuel Pressure?
I'm going to try ans find where I'm losing fuel pressure at.
Where is the best place to pinch off the return and feed lines?
------------------
350 TPI, 700R4(rebuilt), K&N's, MSD 6AL, Headers, Flowmaster, 160* stat, airfoil, MAF screens cut out. 13.88 @ 101.18 mph

Bob,
Still fighting the hard starts?
My fuel ones are fairly accessible near the #1 cylinder. The smaller one is the return line, so pinch that off first.
Let us know what you find.

Yes, unfortunately I'm still fighting the problem and I might add have still not made any progress.
I had the injectors done 1 year ago by Cruzin and was told none leaked. I just contacted Rich yesterday to look up my sheet to be sure and he said everything was fine even the cold start injector.
If it is a lack of pressure at start up I still don't see how not having enough fuel pressure would make it run rich for a few seconds.

I just fixed mine (horray!) Injectors cleaned, fuel pressure regulator swapped, minimum air (roughly) set, and a new IAC electrical connector
Oh yeah, and the dieing/plugged up cat spit itself out tailpipes

Actually I didn't quite fix it...I have to rev it for about 10-15 seconds in the morning, then it goes, and doesn't really have a problem the rest of the day...maybe because she's slightly low on oil...
