I dont drive my vert as much as I used too...Only on nice days.. I noticed that if the car sits for a while that the fuel pressure bleeds off to zero. I wondered if this is norma? I never noticed this before. I have a 255lph pump and a stock FPR. What should I look for??? I have a new Kirban FPR,but Im waiting to rebuild the motor before I install...Any help would be appreciated...

This is normal if your car sits for a while. It will hold uel pressure for a little while, maybe a couple hours or so, but if your car sits it will not hold it.

Thanks 89sleeper... I wasnt sure if something was wrong...Had a few people tell me several things that could be wrong...bad FPR,fuel filter, and bad pump... I installed the gauge about a year ago,but never payed any attention to it before I started the car...
