it should have 43 psi with the pump primed(ie. you turn the ignition on but not the engine) and it should drop about 10 psi or so while running if memory serves.

37-47 PSI pressurized and not running for 20 minutes. Any loss of more than 1 PSI in 20 minutes means a leak. Running pressure should be 4 PSI less than non-running pressure.

I believe it's 3-5, actually. Still, Haynes is only good as toilet paper in an emergency and fire starter. And if you don't have anything else and can't afford anything else.

LOL... I couldn't do that with mine... It's seen too much time in the garage (back when I needed the torque specs) and it's too greasy now. Can anyone say "flash fire" ?
