92' 2.3 Fuel pump pressure?

[jpc252]

Any body know what the Fuel Pump Pressure should be for a 92' 2.3

 

[Wicked One]

Fuel pressure as measured off the Schrader valve on the fuel rail should be at least 20 to 30 PSI for the 2.3 L.

Thanks, I was getting 10-12 lbs cranking it over? Came inside when it wouldn't start & came on here to ask my question. I went back outside to try again & turn the key & it started ???????????????????? :smash:

You need a minimum of 20psi to keep the car running anything less than that your starving it. I typically runs between 30-37 psi.
When you went back out and it just started heres what happened.
When you turn on the key (not the starter) the fuel pump comes on for about 1.5 seconds charging your fuel rail and will not come back on until the car starts. The important factor here is that once you try to start the car and it dosen't turn the key completly off and start over the fuel pump will run again hopefully putting more than 12 psi in the rail. Check your fuel filter and fuel relay both are cheep and both go bad.
