Fuel pump questions.

[PFunk242]

So i just put a new fuel pump in my jeep since mine was pretty much completely shot. 25 lbs of fuel pressure. But the jeep still isn't running right The book that came w/ my fuel pressure gage says that i should have 53 psi of fuel pressure. I am getting 33. I have read other pressures on here in that range but they weren't for a 92. Does anyone know what the fuel pressure should be on a 92? Also does anyone know what the flow rating is on the stock pumps? Like how many leaters per hour the pump is suppose to be able to move?

Thanks guys i really need to get this damn jeep running soon so i can finally drive to work.

On 91-95 OBDI the fuel pressure should be 39psi with the vacuum disconnected from the regulator. About 31 psi with the vacuum connected.
Did you change the filter?

Ya the filter was changed. Also i allmost forgot how much should the pressure drop if any once the key is off? It drops about 5 psi as soon as it stops running and then drops allthe way down to about 5 psi after 20 min.

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

The factory service manual for my '98 says it's okay if the fuel pressure reads 0 after the engine is off after a while... they say the gas in the line contracts after cooling down which could result in a 0 reading. The important thing is that gas still remains in the line for the next start-up thanks to check valves in the fuel pump & filter/regulator.
I wouldn't worry about pressure after shut down.

Fuel pressure's fine, leakdown is also fine. Time to look for other problems.
