Are you watching the fuel pressure as it is getting lean ?

Sounds to me like it might be related to the fuel pump. If your fp is around 60 and you're trying to set it back to the stock psi it is just going to lean out more. I'd start with checking if your pump is getting correct voltage and working properly.
If its worth doing, its worth overdoing.

What kind of injectors specifically are they? Too much fuel pressure can cause certain injectors to not spray at all. Certain Bosch Pintle style injectors and certain delphi ball and seeat types. If you are running a boost sensitive FPR then the pressure could be exceeding 75-80PSI under boost.

Remove the vaccum hose from the FPR as an experiment and see if the leanout stops.

If you cannot adjust fuel pressure below 50 PSI you either have a restricted return hose , your guage is just plain wrong or there is something wrong with the way you have your FPR plumbed or a bad FPR.

An FPR is nothing more than a controlled leak back to the tank. If pressure is too high then you are not able to leak enough back to the tank or your test guage is not accurate.

Yea I was also thinking it might be the injectors too but I wasn't sure that high enough fp would keep them from opening. Didn't want to say anything and give out any incorrect info. Learn something new every day. :)

Fuel return restricted. Vapor locking in the tank? When it is running lean. Try opening the fuel filler cap and see if there is alot of vacuum or pressure built up in the tank. Or try unplugging MAF and see if it gets better.

Do you have a consult cable? Have you tested your tps and mafs?

What is your battery voltage while running? Do you have any troubleshooting experience/abilities?

kfred is a jim wolf tune and i dont HAVE A consult cable. no i have not tested my maf or tps i used to use a meter a while ago but it broke but i just got a new one. so lmk how to test it wha wires it is. please stick with me i kno u can solve this probaly easily... bu when i had m,y 370 in there my car could boost 7 psi but would leAN OUT going past 4600 or so. now that i go my 740 siemen dekas in theres its makin it lean out at idle just becausse they require more fuel. how can we test the fuel pump or power to it i feel thats the problem the car had a stock fuel pump i put the walboro in and it really did nothing.

my return for is on a down angle no kinks i should be fine,,[/list]

Are your injectors high or low impedance ?

My suggestion would be for you to buy a consult cable. You can test the mafs, tps, battery voltage, O2 sensor, etc. easily with the consult cable and the appropriate software.

Only two wires connect to the fuel pump, a battery (+) and ground (-). The voltage across those two terminals should be within ~0.2 volts of your battery voltage. However, I doubt it is a fuel pump problem.

What type of injector resistors are you using?

the resistors from jwt and i got a harness from duncan so he wired them in for me.


and whats a good cable and sofware combo and is their a list that shows what all the parts specific volt specs should be.

I'm a fairly busy person; I can't take the time to tell you how to test every component of your car. See the FSM for how to test most of the sensors or pick up a consult cable.

This site is littered with reviews of consult cables and has plenty of information on free consult software.

first off. This may sound very rough and I might even come off like a jerk but here is how it looks to me.

It looks as though somehow one of or multiple mods you have done has induced an issue or quite possibly made an already bad situation worse . You really dont seem to have a firm grasp on the theory and operation of what you are working on . If you dont understand how it works then you have no chance of figuring out why it does not .

I have replied to a few of your PMS but I think you are going about this all wrong. The title of your thread really is a little sarcastic but it really is no wonder you dont get answers/solutions to your questions because you dont seem to understand the fundamentals of what makes the car "tick" and there is not enough time in anyones life to pack 30 years of knowledge into your head in a few posts on a forum where you are the only one who truly knows what is done and happening to the car .

My suggestion is that you systematically troubleshoot the car from the FSM but stop acting as if you should be able to lay a problem at the feet of a few enthusiasts and expect to recieve a miraculous cure to all of your problems because I can wager that you are dealing with multiple problems .

i understand what makes a car " tick" i rebuilt the whole motor myself and had it running well before the upgraded fuel system there just must be one thing im overlooking
