#99860, "Fuel Pressure Drop"


          

Ok so i installed the port fueler and all, got it running, under vac the car runs great, and has a steady fuel pressure at around 35. As the car builds boost the fuel pressure drops and the car sputters down like its out of gas. Any suggestions?

I'll give it a try, but it must be VERY clogged the fuel pres drops to the point the car wants to die, closer to 10-15 psi

are you running a port fueler as well. Also would the car just build boost, and go nowhere with it? I'm gonna go ahead and change it out, but it just sounds too easy to be the problem lol, i have HORRIBLE luck so thats why i ask.

Im Ms'd, but all in all same symptoms.

What would happen is I would build up to around 8psi then my fuel pressure would fall on its face, around 15-20psi.

I thought the same as you when you said "this is too easy of a fix", lol.

Give it a try, you never know.

Good luck, hope it works or you figure it out.

The only other thing I can think of, is you have a vac leak some were thats small enough under vac to not really notice, but under boost it pushes open the whole instead of collapsing it, like vacuum does.

Do you have a boost leak detector?

new pump, and the 1:1 is correct. Only thing im wondering is if the port fueler isn't coming on would it loose fuel pressure going into boost?
