First of all thank you for all your help and patience as I work through these issues on the ‘73 1.7 FI car.
I’m having idle and loss of power issues that I’m trying to get sorted out. Brand new MPS from Jeff 40 PSI fuel pressure at the pump outlet Just did a cold start test on the AAR by immediately pulling the hose that goes to the rubber install and I had suction there. That suggests that my AAR is OK and I should keep moving on to other components, correct? |

Bill's right - ~28/29 psi +/- at the rail. On the 1/2 side fuel rail there should be a stub. Either it's blocked off with a very small bolt or it has a fuel line routing over to the cold start valve. That's a good place to attach a fuel pressure gauge -- just disconnect the CSV as needed.
AAR should slowly close off in a few minutes, assuming the heating element is working. I think I timed mine at 7 or 8 minutes once, just because I wanted to know. |
