ok kick i feel there might be a little confusion so i wanted to make sure i list everything for you like you asked.
New fuel filter
No leaks in any of the hard lines, no kinks either.
I bought i new regulator,, it holds vacuum
New fuel pump assembly (pump, metal it sits in, little rubber line, sock, sender) the whole shebang. sadly i did not check for a check valve before stuffing it into the tank and screwing down the little screws on top. Its a Spectre pump assembly. i heard the airtex ones dont have good connections and leak so i went with the more expensive Spectre
PSI ratings
Key on running does it increase with throttle?
Old pump 12 17 no
New Pump 42 36 yes
Pump seems to be running fine which is why the bog is gone but the fuel rail is just leaking down to fast.
All injectors unplugged and fuel return line plugged, still leaks down. honestly im going to do a set of videos to make sure you visually see whats going on because iv had some strange stuff happen.
Strange stuff that doesnt make any sense:
old regulator WAS good after checking it with the rebuilt mityvac pump. after checking injectors unplugged and still getting leak down i decided to swap back to the old one. we had better pressure results (didnt leak down AS FAST but still leaked down in less than a minute). This is the regulator that was on when the system suddenly started working. it was holding key on and off 4 times. then when i PLUGGED BACK IN the injectors and turned the key to the on position the fuel rail primed but leaked down just like before. SINCE THEN i have not been able to get pressure again. i dont know if it was a fluke, but i have since uplugged the injectors again to try and duplicate the success.
when i read your posts above i went outside to check the old regulator AGAIN to make sure, cant be too sure. WELL.....gas came out the nipple, it never has before so now the old one IS BAD lol.
All manifold vacuum ports work and are not clogged at all. i checked them and yes it is plugged in right. Ill continue to test it and see if i can get better results. i mean really.....there are only so many places the gas can go. I would hate to think the brand new pump has a bad or no check valve. i will also do the volume check. ill report back. thanks again!!
