Won't hold static fuel pressure

Featured Replies

Hi folks, My 88 GL T won't hold static fuel pressure after shutting off engine. I thot' it was my old injectors bleeding down, but the new ones didn't affect it. It goes away rapidly, & after it warms up I have to cycle the Ign. switch two or three times to build enough pres. to start it. I think there's a check valve on the supply side some where but not sure. Advice appreciated. Steve.

I would search for the check valve in the fuel line but if you can't find it, see if the fuel pump is holding pressure.

And if it is not the check valve(in the pump I think),try the pressure regulator.Pinch a flexible line closed on the supply and return side to isolate the problem.If pressure still drops w/both lines pinched,your injector(s) are leaking.
