I have a 1.7L. The pump I have looks like this.
 https://www.lceperformance.com/ProductDetai...eUaAvWtEALw_wcBWhere I see it says it is 5psi and recommends a pressure regulator. But I don't see one. I have this single carb.  How bad is that? Do I really need a regulator? What is going on without it? Related is that the PO said they recently gave up on FI. But I assume no engine work was done. I found this pump in the trunk.  Recommendations? |

1. The lower fuel pump you saw was the original FI fuel pump with around 30 psi.
2. Looks like previous owner replaced the fuel pump to low psi. If it indicated 5psi. You need pressure regulator that can lower it to 2 psi. 3. Single carb usually need only between 2 to 3 psi. |
