2001 3.8l v6 fuel pressure?

[mustangfan]

What is the quoted stock fuel pressure for a 2001 3.8l v6 mustang like mine? My gauge fluctuates alot right now. Just woundering thats all.

At idle it should be between 38.5-40.0lbs. at the rails on a return-less fuel system

Thanks cause mine idles around 28-30psi right now. Hoping replacing the fuel filter will help this problem.

That's a good start, good luck, U sure don't want to starve them injectors and cause a lean condition

Ford fuel disconect, U can pick one up at your local Autozone store, make sure you get the plastic ones as they work the best
