Wont hold fuel pressure Swapped out the alternator and the fuel pump with no luck. Since it was losing pressure under load I thought it was a power or a pump issue. I also noticed that the longer it runs the more more pressure I lose. My car is set to hold 60psi and usually never budges. Now it holds 58psi and drops the second I give it gas. When I cycle it it jumps to 50psi then drops to zero in 4 seconds. Any idea as to what else it could be? Its a racetronix walbro with a hotwire kit.

You could also have a drooling injector. That ought
to show up as a fouled spark plug or a wet one.
But none of that explains the drop when running.
That has to be a fluid restriction or a really weak
electrical feed.

Thanks. The voltage and relays are good. Think I should get an aftermarket regulator.... at this point fueling is the weak point in my setup.
Does anyone know where I can pick up a new venturi tube? I heard cracks in that can cause issues. It looks good I figured while Im replacing everything Ill do that too.
