leak with new afpr

Just got done installing new fuel rails with afpr on em. As soon as i start cranking my motor, fuel starts spraying out of the fuel pressure test connector. I had no idea what to set the regulator at, so the screw is backed out a bit. Is there any chance that my pressure is set too insanely high? No idea what could be causing this....

Fuel is spraying out of the schraeder valve?

Well, first of all crank the screw down until it is getting no resistance. Then stick a fuel pressure tester on and see if you can get a reading to adjust it. Hopefully the valve isn't broken but it sounds like it might be.

Well I took another look at that little guy.....and the needle in the center was gone. It was completely hollow. Guess i shoulda checked that before i put it on . Swapping on the one from my old fuel rail did the trick.
