Why does my fuel pump not hold pressure?
Why does my fuel pump not hold pressure?
If the system keeps pressure you know that injectors are ok and the problem may be down stream (fuel pump or fpr). On the flip side, if it didn’t hold pressure then it could be an injector or an fpr leaking into the vacuum line. To check the fuel pump, presurize the fuel system and only block off only the return line.
What should the fuel pressure be on a GMC Sierra?
Drives:2004 GMC Sierra Posted October 8, 2010 When the ignition switch is ON and the fuel pump is running, the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure gauge should read 379-427 kPa (55-62 ps i). The spring pressure inside the fuel pressure regulator controls the fuel pressure.
What should fuel pressure be in a truck?
Fuel pressure test when cold, turn key on and spikes to almost 60psi, then quickly drops to about 10psi, but truck still starts ok. Holds pressure around 52psi. Turn key off and pressure drops rapidly. When motor hot, turn key on and climbs slowly mid 50s, then falls back down. Long crank and need to pump pedal to catch.
Can a fuel pump leak cause a P0300 to misfire?
Intake leak, injector and fpr leak can cause P0300 multiple misfire though. Idle will be unstable and rough. Injectors and fpr can be checked with upper intake off with fuel lines connected and fuel pump primed. Yes, must prime before starting to avoid hard start.

What is the correct fuel pressure, 5.3 engine?
My 99 5.7L was always a little below the low end of the fuel pressure specs – even with a new GM pump (still ran fine). Thanks for your reply. Key on, engine off for my truck is 55 psi. Driving is 45 psi. I just can’t believe 45 is enough for this engine.
