What should Fuel pressure be
What should Fuel pressure be
Anyone know what the fuel pressure should be when the car is running.
I know that the fuel pressure is tested with the vacuum line disconnected but I just installed a digital gauge, and was wondering what the pressure should be with the vacuum line connected and under normal circumstances.
I just did a quick check with the vacuum line disconnected it was at 42.5PSI.
With the Vacuum line connected it went down to about 37.5PSI
What should I be aiming for as far as fuel pressure goes?

Both of those numbers are right in the ballpark. With the vacuum line connected the pressure should drop a little(from the disconnected pressure) while the engine is idling. When you floor it the pressure should go up near the pressure you had when the line was disconnected.
