Well it wont sound right when you turn your ignition on

(or it wont sound at all)

You'll cut out at high R's

maybe an irratic idle

------------------

 

Car will sputter and backfire off idle.

 

u will floor it and it will back fire at intake and rpms wont raise at all.

 

Or you just may notice the fuel pressure is lower than normal.

One I had just died suddenly. The one I have now is doing the slow death....instead of the fuel pressure rising when accelerating...it goes down, causing a lean condition and increased BLM count.

Here's a question for you, can you have good PSI and poor GPM? When I give my car gas my gauge jumps all over the place.
