I recently checked the fuel pressure on my 1987 ford ranger and had a question for y'all. First I checked if it held pressure with engine off after priming it. After 10 minutes the needle hadn't moved so I started it up and it held steady at 32 PSI while idling. I unplugged the fuel pressure regulator and pressure went up to 40 PSI. I turned off the engine and fuel pressure stayed around 32 PSI. I started it again and this time gave it some gas and the engine died (I'm hunting down some issues) but after the engine died I watched the needle go all the way down to 0 in about 5 or so seconds. Is this normal or is this indicative of an issue? Might my stalling issue be a fuel pressure related issue?
Thanks!
Thanks!
