You should have right about 39 PSI at idle.

Are you buying airtex pumps by any chance?

Moving this to the right section.

And there is your problem. Airtex has an absolutely horrid reputation. Go with the Delphi, or Denso pump.

If you still have an airtex pump in there, you will get to do this again in about a year.... they are terrible.
