How can i check vaccum pressure? i have a boost gauge plumbed in to another port on inlet manifold which should relect the pressure going to the fuel regulator shouldn't it (providing vaccum pipe not leaking)?
so at idle you're running 7 bar of fuel pressure?
i'm a little confussed.
quite simply, if you put some forced pressure in the regulator from the manifold air supply, then does the fuel pressure rise/afr enrichen?
if not then that is the problem right there, new regulator needed.
this is the only device that causes the fuel pressure to rise on boost.
