Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / February 20081994 Buick Century fuel pressure
Hi all I have a 1994 buick century with a 3.1 liter motor. I would like to know what the fuel pressure is supposed to be on the car? I bought a tester but I'm not sure if its supposed to be hooked up and just turn the key to the on position or is the car supposed to be running. I have changed the spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, Idle air control valve (it was sticking). No trouble codes. Sometimes the motor runs a little rough and I have found the fuel mileage have decreased a little. Possible GM gremlin.

If you disconnect the pressure regulator vacuum line the pressure should rise to around 45 psi. The test is fine, running or not, just check for leaks at the test port fitting. Gerald 31 is absolute minium. 35 is optimal. Over 35 kicks in computer over ride, same as defective O2 sensor, you will see codes. See you at the track. wws > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Pete > 31 is absolute minium. > 35 is optimal. > Over 35 kicks in computer over ride, same as defective O2 sensor, you will > see codes. > See you at the track. > wws"conan" <conan6...@yahoo.com> wrote in message I don't know where you get your info, but you are wrong.
