Default High fuel pressure. Idle 50-51 psi..........

Ok when I turn the key on it goes to around 40psi, but when I actually start the car the fuel pressure at idle is 50-51psi. I simulated WOT by pulling the vacuum line and it is 54-55psi.

So with that being said you would think I would be running rich with that high of fuel pressure. Nope at idle in open loop I am jumping around 15-16:1 afr. Closed loop is another issue. Maybe resolving this will magically fix my closed loop problem.

Also when I slam on the gas pedal it hesitates for a second(18-20:1 AFR) then all of a sudden it takes off(12.5:1 AFR)

Could something be clogging my fuel rail causing high fuel pressure, a lean idle, and hesitation when I try to accelerate?

If it is a bad fuel pressure regulator I definantly shouldn't run lean. Correct?

Stock FPR or aftermarket? What kind of fuel pump? Return line unrestricted?

Stock FPR, walbro 255 I think. It was the version you get from racetronix. I also have their fuel pump voltage booster. Also if the stock return line is unrestricted then mine is unrestricted. By the way nice time with your car.

You pump booster should not be activated at idle.... check voltage at pump.
This will screw up your pressure.

You should only raise voltage at full throttle.
