Default Re: testing the ALCL. poor cold start running

Car still has low fuel pressure. When I say the car ran fine for a short amount of time, I am referring to running errands around down, sitting in traffic, etc. A good 30 plus minutes of driving. The car got plenty warm, was on the expressway, bumper to bumper traffic, stop light driving, etc.

I started the car and fuel pressure is still at ~23 psi. Car fired right up, no leaks around the fuel filter either. I had it wrapped in toilet paper and all the toilet paper is dry.

I put the key in the ignition and turned it to the on position for 3 minutes without starting the car and the fuel pressure held about 26 and then fell to about 20 psi at the end of the three minutes. When the ignition first came on the fuel pressure gauge spiked to about 36 psi then settled down to about 26 psi.

EDIT: Will upload video later.


I am going to my friends shop and borrow his fuel pressure gauge to make sure mine is working correctly. I also disconnected the MAP and the connections were clean and free of oil any noticeable oil deposits.
