At the Schrader valve on the injector rail:
KOEO- 5 psi
Idle - 30 psi
Faster- 28 psi
Truck cranks up and drives fine, does not idle well, is weak/misses at low rpms and smells like i'm just shooting raw gas straight out the back end. Anything above an idle it seems to run fine. So in the process of trying to fix this idle issue, I'm checking the fuel system. Both pumps whirr when the key is turned on, if I disconnect power to the pump on the chassis, I still can hear the pump in the tank run for those two seconds. The truck won't start with that high pressure pump off line.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
So as I'm asking all this about fuel pumps, another question occurred to me: If an injector was stuck open, would it be the likely cause of the described issue? (I'm hoping not because they are a pain to get to.)
