I recently installed an electric fuel pressure gauge. At idle I'm about 29-30psi and at WOT it's about 40-42psi. I noticed though when I drive for longer then normal periods of time (an hour or more) at idle the pressure will sometimes increase to 35-40 psi but it will still stay under 42 psi at WOT, I was just curious if this was normal or not.

the EEC increases fuel presure at higher engine temps to keep the fuel from boiling in the fuel rails. Normal.pumm3l said:I recently installed an electric fuel pressure gauge.
