Charlie, the 8 psi is good. It is possible for fuel pump pressure to fluctuate, but normally are fairly consistent. I always say "start with the simple things, the cheap things" when diagnosing problems. Stock fuel pumps are cheap, maybe $15.00, replace it. The time you spend trying to figure out if it is good, you can have the new one on already. Besides, the old one is probably dirty anyway, put a shiny new one on, this IS the WIFES show car ! ! ! ! Spare no expense ! ! She'll probably pay you back twofold ! ! ! Bob in MN. --- In BaadAssGremlins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, GrublinX@... wrote: > > I am trying to rule out fuel pump issues with the Pacer 258.
