Help me out guys I am going around in circles trying to figure this one out. I have pretty much come to a conclusion that it is in fact a fuel problem. Anyone who has a fuel psi gauge on there car would really help me out to compare my gauge to another gauge. When I shut the car off the pressure goes to 0 psi within 5 secs, I beleive that it is suppose to hold pressure for a certain amount of time, correct? Ok so I start checking for leaks, none found. Brand new regulator on the car so I dont think thats the problem, plus I chekced it, fuel psi jumps approx 10 psi when vacuum is removed (normal) and there is no fuel dripping out of the regulator (sign of a bad fuel psi regulator). Ok so I start thinkin fuel pump cause I have a long ass crank time. Then I pull the codes out of my car and I get a code for fuel system too rich bank 1, WTF, if the pump was going bad wouldnt I have a lean condition? So now I am thinkin an injector is stuck open cause I smell some gas in my oil. The car spitts and sputters at times crusing down the road and it stalls coming too a light. Plus aroud 3000 rpm the car wants to take a shit really bad, spitts and sputters really bad. Already checked my IMRC's and they are opening as they should. There is one thing that I should of actually done first and that is to pull the plugs and inspect them, that will actually tell me if I am too rich or lean. I didnt do that yet cause of the fuel psi dropping so fast I automatically thought it was a pump or regulator, it has never done that and just started doing this.
Anyone have any ideas, I was pretty damn positive it was a pump untill I got the code for fuel system too rich. Any way to check those injectors without actually taking them out?
Wires are new (Ford Racing), plugs are new but are being checked right now, and the coil packs are new - so please dont throw those out there as possible problems, all the signs are pointing to either a pump or and injector stuck open. Anyone seen this type of problem?
