If your repair job is holding, are you still having problems? I would be curious to see input from others about what their "usual" fuel pressure is. I understand that it is not "spec" though.

Repair is fine with respect to what can be detected. No leakage evidence.

It is out of spec on the low end. Moreover, the injector is spec'ed to have 49 psi at it's location. Additionally, the gauge is not supposed to be so jumpy, much more steady. The reading in the video was with running.

Off and primed, it only got to 44 psi and quick drop off, rather than slow. I didn't find anything on spec for that value.

Backstory --
I've had a cyl1 misfire for almost a year. It was intermittent. Meaning it would come and go. Did the basic changes and covered the bases, spark plugs, wires, etc. Then the light became constant, then the leak was found. Repair job on the leak...CEL went off on it's own. That lasted a few days, so CEL back on and thus prompted the fuel pressure check.

There could still be other contributors to a Cyl1 misfire. Pump is definitely OUT though.
