Blue Spring install
I finally got around to installing my Blue Spring retro kit.
A pretty easy job and after having to replace 3 injectors over the last year or so, something I really needed to get done, knowing that low fuel pressure isn't kind to injectors.
Even with a Dashboss, I don't have the add on, fuel pressure sensor, so I really don't know my before and after fuel pressures. It's pretty apparent though, when you put the two springs side by side, the difference in size and strength. Also a bit tougher, holding the plate in place, putting the four screws back in place with that extra tension.
What I have really noticed was the smoothness of starting the engine when cold. Even though the "romps" typically seem to be oil driven, the additional fuel pressure also seems to smooth out the cold starting issues.
Not sure if others have noticed a difference too but I'm a bit more confident in towing and traveling now.
