That'll do it. 50PSI is the normal operating range. Thankfully everything is in the assembly so unless your injectors are messed up your entire fuel system will be new. In case you haven't checked them yet, you might want to think about getting new fuel tank bands. They tend to rust a bit quicker than the rest of the truck.

 

We ended up just lifting the bed up. Runs great now but startup is kind of funky. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 seconds of cranking to start then the next starts right up. Then once it catches, it revs up a little, idles down to almost a stall then picks up and purs like a kitten. Idle airflow sensor?

 

Might be. Does the long crank only happen if the truck has been sitting for a bit? If so you might want to check the pressure again. You might have gotten a rebuilt pump with an old check valve that's failed. As for the idle I'm not certain. All the Idle Air Control valve does is allow just enough air through to enable idling. Try cleaning it with electronics cleaner. Also clean the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor while your there. Usually the IAC fails by not opening. So you start fine but then stall if you don't hold the throttle. They are made with platinum so they are more expensive and not one I would load the parts cannon on. The Throttle Position Sensor could also be a culprit. Those are dirt cheap at least.

 

I know you just installed a new fuel pump, but this costs nothing to check. What happens if you turn the key to on position (one click before crank) and wait a few seconds before cranking? This allows the fuel pump to prime the lines. If you're having a loss of prime issue, this will tell you.

 

What brand pump did you install?

 

I do have a tad rich smell from my tailpipe so I could have a bad or multiple injectors going funky.

 

it's very intermittent. Sometimes it does it after sitting all day at work or a stop off at the store on the way home then won't do it for a while. Pump is new from car quest. I replaced the IAC which helped the up then down then leveloff idle. I have a new throttle position sensor I can put in. I haven't cleaned the MAP sensor yet. I was just going to replace it but they are spendy little buggers and the cheap ones look alot like the spendy ones.

 

one from car quest.

 

it's very intermittent. It does it after sitting at work 10hrs or a quick stop at the store on the way home then nothing fior a few days.

 

Hope you enjoy changing pumps...... That is NOT a part to go cheap on. Pretty much ensures you get to do the job again, soon.....
