Default Durango fuel pressure

Hello, I have a 2005 Durango 4.7. It shows no fuel pressure at the rail but gas comes out the bleeder hose on the gauge. It will start but I cannot give it any throttle unless I spray starting fluid into the throttle body. I've heard of low pressure but why am I showing none on gauge. I can hear pump come on. It also cranks over funny and wants to pop like a backfire in the throttle body. Thanks

It sure sounds like you have a fuel pressure problem. fuel should not bleed out the fuel guage so try a different pressure tester.

the gauge bleeds out when I push the release valve on the gauge, but there is never any pressure showing on the gauge

Well I just replaced the fuel pump and have pressure. Its starts right up but when I accelerate it bogs down real bad and seems to have no power

not much to go on.... one possiblitity....whenever i hear bogging...i think clogged exhaust....check for backpressure with a gauge or unscrew the pre cat 02 sensors from the exhaust stream to allow the exhaust to bypass the cats.
