how low can fuel psi be to still run engine?
i had a digital fuel pressure gauge hooked up in my car
within two weeks it just scrolls low
the company sent me a new sender i havent installed it yet
i have a high idle and one day got a code 44, it went away
still high idle
dont give all the iac tps suggestions
im just trying to rule out my fuel pump
iac is new
tps is .54v
rebuilt maf
fresh ford 19lb injectors
car has always idled high just now its worse and im still in the troubleshooting process
ill be able to datalog soon
and ill jsut hook up a temporary fuel pressure gauge
im just trying to get smarter and feed my curiosity for the time being
the fuel sender will scroll low if the pressure is below a certain psi
either the sender went bad withing two weeks or maybe just mayeb the fuel pump is going or my year old fuel filter is going bad or clogged
so to feed my curiosity does anyone know how low the fuel pressure can be and the engine will still run even if not too great?
im sure if it was so low id be getting a lean code all the time or wouldnt run at all
just curious guys
thanks
