I have a problem that no one can seem to figure out!!

can the relay be going bad I don't know how long it was hooked up I know the kit most likely killed the stock fuel pump...?

the stock wiring is disconnected at the rear when a hot wire is connected.

given the symptoms that went away at idle when the pressure was turned up, it does not sound like a relay problem but you can stick another relay in there and find out...or you can go to the fuel tank and see if you can reconnect the factory wire.

OK.

Steve is clearly asking for accurate fuel pressure readings.

Get that done before you start trying to diagnose unrelated issues. Focus on and follow the advice being given, you will get through this.

Do not rely on the gauge you are currently using. If you don't have a known good pressure gauge/setup, go to your local chain parts house, you should be able to borrow a fuel pressure gauge. You can grab a cheap FP testing kit from harbor Freight, it's not a bad investment.

If nothing else, you can check and see how accurate your rail mount gauge is.

Thanks for the info...... im gonna get a better fuel gauge and go from there!! I will keep you updated !! and what should the pressure be around w/ the vacuum line off or should I go by the BL's?
