haynes says: 47-51 psi, should hold 21psi after 5 min (engine off for 5 min).

if it's low replace the filter before anything else, it's alot cheaper than the pump. before the pump comes into play, replace all the rubber fuel lines and have the metal lines blown out with some air (just to make sure)

resistance across fuel injector (discon lead from fuel inj) should be 11-15 ohms.

hope this helps.

I finally got a fuel pressure gauge and tested the line pressure tonight. I was right at 51 with the car running. I then shut it off for 5 - 10 minutes and it was still holding at 46 psi? Is the 21 psi the level it should drop to, or it just needs to not go below 21?
