Mine was split about 15mm from the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(vn's used to have a connection where the fuel rail is to hook up a pressure guage? ba's have anything like that?I'd measure pressure as close to the rail as you can. I connect into the fuel line right before the rail on my GT. It will depend on how the gauge you have can be connected into the line.If your issue gets worse with low fuel I'd be pulling the pump and swirl pot to check that as well. Not an easy job with a ute I know.Benny. Edited 14/07/14 10:58 AM by Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracked = farked. Your meter can't tell you what's going on when the coils hot and under load. I'll be amazed if it's a fuel pressure issue with a known suspect coil.

Car would not rev out with under half a tank, but had perfect pressure at idle. When the problem is happening does the car hunt back and forth?

So when adjusting my fuel pressure at idle, 4 bar with the vacuum line hooked up is too much? Edited 14/07/14 08:26 PM by willo88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
