Put the fuel pressure tester from Actron on it today and it read nothing. Although before that we pressed the schrader valve in and it started. Put the fuel pressure tester on a tire to make sure it was working and it was. Put it back on the fuel schrader valve and nothing. So we went into the fuel tank. Wella, the line from the pump to the cap of the tank, (for lack of better words) was not connected. It was basically running on tank pressure. Put the Tester back on and it read 55 lbs. Which if I read the bar to lbs calculator is about right. Car started right up and then for the hot start test. Let it set for about 45 minutes., or back down to 120 degrees after being at 180 degrees. Started right up. It idled for about 1.5 minutes and went. I'me outa here. Done. Died and took a few to get it started. Once running it ran fine. Then tested it again with about the same time intervals. And back. Started after a try or two and then died. But once running. It would run fine and idle just fine. Kinda. In all tests the idle was a tad erratic once started. 900 to 1,100 rpm and the hanged around there, up and down. The real shame is. When running, this thing purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs like a kitten. sounds great. No odd noises and just sounds great!!!
So Keith. What was the part number for the line with the purge valve again? (-;

PS. It would be much easier to test the pressure with just a straight fitting from the tester to the manifold/fuel rail.
