I just got my fuel pressure gauge all hooked up this past week and was running about 17/18psi at idle and barely getting over 20psi when driving... altho when i let off the throttle it would rise to about 25 before dropping back down.
So, I changed my filter, did the pre-filter rebuild/cleaned it up and replaced the heater element top o-ring gasket. It idles at 18-20psi now but it doesn't seem to get much over 20psi while driving yet... 24psi is the most it hits while under acceleration/load.
Is this normal or do I maybe have a leak or bad line somewhere? Also, I've read about removing the heater element all together... has this seemed to help anyone else?
Edit: I also do have a hard start issue... everytime I start it, I have to tap the throttle just to get it to start the first try... otherwise it will crank four or five times and maybe start on its own. It's done this for a while, and I've adjusted throttle rod linkage as well as idle speed adjuster... it'd get better for a few days after adjustment and then hard start again. Yet once started it idles great.
