Default Fuel rail problems
I recently installed a aeromotive fpr on the stock ls1 rails within my car. I checked connections and implimented everything to make sure it was secure and working accordingly, however after fire up, no psi is ebgibf showing on the regulator and the odd part it its a brand new one regulator. Before fireup i installed a high psi spring inside the regulator so we could set the base fuelbpressure at 58psi, but no luck .. Any suggestions or insight

Is it hooked up correctly? Not a put-down; you would be surprised how easy it is to get it wrong.

Don't you have to remove the little valve inside the fuel rail before installing the regulator?

If you didn't remove it then that is the problem.

Yes you can buy them in a R134A kit at the parts store. Some of the kits have the tool along with extra valves and orings.

Just insert the tool and turn it counter clockwise to remove it.

Stole the quote from your signature, but "you sure you wanna do this?" Why are you installing a fpr in the first place?
