Fuel pressure problem
 

Hi, I've a problem with the fuel pressure under load as it's only rising up to aprox 55 Psi, I've noticed the pressure was low on idle (30 Psi) so I raised the pressure up to what it should be on idle and did I little test drive but the pressure does not come above 55 Psi.
The pump is a Bosch 044 and about 3 years old but sounds "crispy", could it be the pump or the regulator which is a Aeromotive A1000.
What's best to test and how before spending money on new parts?

100% it will be fuel regulator mate ;-)

Had issues with mine on Dyno and I know Mr Shead @ MA Developments uses them purely as a door stop :cry::cry:

I have a spare I can take to Ford Fair I'd you are coming over.

take it apart and you will find the spring broken at a guess
i bought a high powered car from somebody who had a new aero fpr fail[spring]-they sent him two springs....must be confident of their product[not]

And they don't like seating properly inside leading to low pressure and inability to increase correctly with rising boost.

Thanks guys, will open it tomorrow :top:

Not coming to Ford Fair Rich but going to Time Attack the week after at Cadwell Park ;-)

Opened up the FPR, i think i need no words :cry: :sad: :wall:

are you goin to repar or bin it?
i may have a spring somewhere-will have a look if you are-and send dimensions of spring size-well size it should be....:grin:

crap item eh?

If i could get a cheap repair like a new spring i will repair it for the time being ;-)

Any friends over to Ford Fair??

wow mate that is well and truly beyond help lol

Yes mate, i had contact with Aeromotive and showed them these pics, they asked me if i was in marine or automotive :cry::cry:
