Last time you did a tune up? What plugs are in it? Fuel pressure? Does it bleed down quickly?

So I'm my other thread I go into more detail. Tune up don't not even 50 miles ago. Champion copper plugs. Do far I have done: fuel pump (twice), plenum, tune up, smoke tested evap lines did find a small leak.

I can't find a good fuel pressure gauge. Comparing it to a known good the pressure reads the same. Didn't do a leak test. I know dumb on my part lol

Here's a fuel pressure gauge that should work for you - https://www.harborfreight.com/fuel-i...ter-58760.html

If you are just seeing how fast it bleeds down it doesn't have to be accurate. To read what pressure it is yes then it needs to be accurate. I have Harbor Freight compression tester, I compared it (tested in parallel) to a US Gauge pressure gauge and it's only about 2 pounds off. On the other hand they over crimped one of the hoses and nothing could get threw, I had to drill out the obstruction. You really do get what you pay for as far as cheap tools go.

I tried that one and the Icon one. It's only reading 32 but comparing it to a known good it only reads 32 as well

I agree with you there. Once it warms up I'm going to revisit it. It blew the front crossover brake line

Ordered injectors so I have them on hand when I start digging into this truck. I hate fuel issues. Would take electrical any day over this.
