think about that for a minute.
if there is pressure on the rail...how does it stay there? the fuel pressure regulator is a variable control valve.. it slams shut with no vac on it. the vac at idle overcomes spring pressure.
the pump has the actual check valve. its primary objective is to hold prime to protect injectors from dry run.
ethanol fuel sucks for the older stuff. but its fine with simple occasional treatments as long as the vehicle is used often. its when it sits for periods that damage gets done.
of course rust/coorrosion never sleeps. it has a cumlative effect. and the injectors catch the brunt end of that.
and injectors should have been checked or replaced about the second foray into this based on reporting...buys everything except those.
