Fuel pressure in my 2003

Last night while checking other things trying to find the root of my problem, I noticed a very steady leak in the large fuel line on the driver's side of the fuel bowl. Would that create a fuel pressure problem that would, in turn, create the running issues that I have been talking about in my other thread?

I fixed the leak but since the parts guy gave me the wrong sensors I didn't want to run it. Plus I have to get up at 330am for work and it was already close to midnight.

yes it could mess around with PSI and will make her run ruff...after you fix the leak it will take somes miles to get the air out of the rails and start running smoother...

Is that a supply line that fills the bowl? I am assuming that the two smaller lines on the passenger side are the lines that go to the rails.

on driver side the big line is the feed the other is a return..passenger side are both for the rail..any time there is a leak any place in the fuel lines and or tank your letting are in the system and takes some miles to get it out..gets out faster if you have a rebulated return...

Thanks. Just trying to find the cause of the lurching and missing. Checking things off one at a time.
