So when adjusting my fuel pressure at idle, 4 bar with the vacuum line hooked up is too much?Potentially. Pull the vacuum hose of and stick your thumb over the hose and this is when u should have 4 bar.And hunt as in surge back and forth Edited 14/07/14 10:48 PM by gaz097 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88721-how-to-test-fuel-pressure-reg-with-a-guage-on-a-xr6t/page/3/#findComment-1485409 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no provision for test Fuel Pressure as it's rarely an issue. Do you happen to have the torque app and a odb dongle?First point of call for fuel issues it would be easier to check the fuel trims before installing a gauge.
