I just got one bad new out of the box, they told me a way to try and set it but checking it with a ohm meter I still don't think it's working right.

I'm going to be sending it back after I go to the track tonight.

Did we walk you through how to set it? Do you have a Fuel Pressure Gauge on it?

Yeah I did what you guys said but it's showing resistance even with the engine off now. It's was an open circuit all the time to begin with. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. No fuel pressure gauge at the moment.

I had one on another platform with no issues. I was told not to put one on my 4th gen. Maybe it is something with these cars seems no one is having good luck with them on these.
