So here are my questions that I have and maybe what I can do to test them.
1. What should the fuel pump pressure be if I plugged the gauge right into the line coming from the tank
2. I noticed that sometimes my voltage gauge drops a couple ticks below 14 while the truck is running. I went to actually check voltage and my multimeter died so I need to get another one. What would a voltage be that would start to decrease pump pressure below what it should push
3. I plan to look for possible pressure bleeding since I cant see any evidence of fuel leaking. Are the places I should around the parts I replaced accessible or is it ultimately easier to just pull the intake off again?
4. The little hose that connects to the FPR I have heard can crack when you pull it off, what would the symptoms be if it did crack?
5. Is it possible that the supply line pre-FPR has a minor leak that is dropping pressure or causing bleed off like was told a few posts back and that is making it hard for fuel to get back to the engine after it has been parked for a while?
Sorry for all the questions! I really want to learn and not rely on mechanics for some of this stuff. I have been pretty handy in the past but havent done much with big engines and would love to teach my sons as they grow up.
