Doing the first start on a stock 1974 2.0 FI
I have confirmed spark and some fuel. When i put a little gas down the intake it runs a little. My spray at #2 was weak. I had the pump wired backwards. I fixed that. I put a gauge in line after the fuel rail going to the side port of the regulator. I confirmed getting fuel from the side rail after #1 the hose at the end of the regulator goes to the return across the engine to the side return line. I am getting 42PSI. Is this the correct location for the fuel pressure gauge? Is the plumbing correct fuel rail end at #1 to side port and top end port to the return? With this configuration I tried to lower pressure and I cannot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
