Fuel pressure question
Howdy,
I have a 1995 Ranger 3.0 V6 that has been giving me trouble staring after sitting for a few days. I replaced the pressure regulator, but noticed that the pressure goes from 35 psi to zero after 24 hrs.
Is this normal?
The old regulator would bleed off after a few hours.
Is there a check valve in the pump that might be leaking, or injectors not sealing?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jerry

Thanks, been there, done that. That worked for a few months, but it got to the point where the only way I could get it started was to pull the rubber snout off of the intake manifold and squirt gas into it, then crank the starter.
Then even that was a four or five iteration ordeal, so I installed a new regulator. Now it is a one primer turn on, and then it starts right up.
But I am curious about the pressure bleeding off after a period of time, and was wondering what the normal period was.
Thanks for any clues, Jerry
