Bad fuel pump. If I can figure out how to post the video, you can see it dropping down to 20. Or below. I was a little preoccupied with driving to be exact.

Hope it's that simple!

If there is a starvation condition occurring.......I'm assuming fuel pressure would drop when starving?

It is. If you check the video, it's a youtube of the pressure dropping out.

I watched it fall and wondered if it there was a low fuel condition in the tank and under hard forward acceleration could it have created starvation?

Just playing devil's advocate.......like I said I hope it's as simple as a bad pump.

Everything I've read so far regarding these pumps indicate that there not really high performance, so up we go. Drives great though. But I will doing more than just driving it around....I have a health condition called "rightfootdown" disease ....and the only cure is a fuel pump that pumps
