Re: [T3] Newbie--more data on FI


Congrats on getting it running better, Jim.  A couple of quick responses to some of your points:

1.  If I recall correctly, the pressure switch will not affect how the car runs at idle.  You must have a MT '68 or '69 if you have a pressure switch.. correct?

2.  Fuel pressure is very easy to measure.  I made up a gage using a $4.00 hardware store gage (60 psi will let you measure 30 psi in the middle of the gage range), a length of 5/16" fuel line and a nipple.  Connect this to a "T" connector that is between an injector pair (I think it should be between injectors #1 and #2).  You want around 28-30 psi.  I don't think pressure regulators go bad often, so yours is probably fine. 

3.  Consider testing your injectors for leaks.  There is a good procedure in the Bentley manual.  

4.  What's your system voltage?  It is frequently pointed out here that low voltage leads to rich FI.
