I am wondering can you check the fuel pressure at the shrader valve on the fuel bowl, with a tire gauge?

 

Yes... just don't expect the gauge to perform as designed after being filled with diesel fuel. tire gauge is how alot around here check fp, be sure that the gauge you use can read 60- 70psi.

 

ok i tried that and only got about 10psi, dosent seem right does it??

 

did you just change the filter or have the fuel system open in anyway

 

no i did not, it was just started a few moments prior, and was idiling

 

ideling with 10 psi? if so fuel pump time or fpr issue

 

so shimming it wont help i take it

 

See where the arrow that say's FPR is pointing remove that 3/4" plug and see if the spring in there is broke

 

I would put a pump in, repl fuel filter and clean the fpr screen on driver side inside fuel bowl

 

Not to say your wrong but there is a couple of things to check before he puts out 120.00 bucks

 

I agree with you pride... I was thinkin ahead of myself

 

I had 10 psi at the fpr and when I would give some pedal it would fall flat on its face. Did a lot of troubleshooting and even more hoping but it turned out to be the fuel pump. Got that fixed, shimmed the fpr, and now have like 65ish psi.

 

Mine too i just don't want him to spend thatk kind of $$$ if it's only the spring

 

Totally dude. Or a line restriction. I've gotta spend every extra cent right now on fuel.

 

Ok i went out and checked again with another gauge, and I have 45, took a little bit to get to 45 but did go to 45, still at an idle, so is that ok or should i shim it?
