Fuel Pressure should be at 49psi +/- 5psi. (That's factory specs.)
Don't know why your gauge isn't showing anything with the engine running
though...you sure you've got everything hooked up right? Does it use small
plastic tubing? If so, did you crimp the fittings too tight?

Subject: DML: Fuel Pressure Gauge
Daksters that have installed a FP gauge:
I finally got my FP gauge installed (had a tough time because
the '97 does not have a pressure relief valve, and had to
find fittings for a clean rig).
Problem: everything seems to work except that the gauge
doesn't show pressure. Backlight is aok. Power off and
needle sits at highest pressure marker = aok. Power on
and needle jumps to 0 = aok. Start engine and zip, needle
does not move off 0. I've tested the sender unit manually
with a hand held gauge and it shows 42 psi.
Any suggestions, opinions, guesses???
Thanks ... getting slower and slower daily = me, not the Dak.
Bob
