Yet another fuel pressure question....

[Craigness]

OK, here we go again...

I have a power loss on the highway. I can get to 70 but it's takes a while..

No codes... 96 D1 5-speed (Another 96 5-speed).

Fuel pressure is 32 at the rail running and 39-41 with the regulator hose disconnected.

I hear it should be at 37 running at idle no load. AB says 32 is fine.

Who's right?

Can I drive with the vaccum hose disconnected and plugged up or will I stress the injectors/hose assemblies?

It is unlikely your fuel pressure is causing the issue.

You may want to do a couple of more checks if you have a gauge available. I checked mine several times and I'd get readings between 20 and 30 psi at different times. I finally replaced it. Also you probably did this but did you check your fuel filter?

Stop buying 96's, there all junk

Two tanks of Chevron 92 octane and call me in the morning.

92 mobile 93 nothing matters. Low power.

Can I run with the vacuum regulator hose disconnected and plugged up or with the rail pressure be too great?
