I am currently experiencing issues with my 1988. When I start the engine, it runs/idles/revs in neutral great. As soon as I put a load on the engine it starts to run really lean and dies, it wont even idle after being in a load condition. A friend of mine claims that a the regulator is not allowing enough fuel to the 42lb injectors that are powering the 408w and running it lean. Thoughts?

What’s the fuel pressure under load?

Was the engine running good previously then developed a problem on its own, or did it develop a problem after changes were made or work done on it?
