Fuel to the injector rail but car is fuel starved, won't start

[Chells_88ix]

I hoped the lines were crossed but the one with the fuel coming out was the one connected to the rear fuel rail so it looks like they were correct, besides the return line on my car has the line seated into a holder towards the bottom of the engine. With the line in the holder/clip (which we didn't have to release) there isn't enough hose to come up through the intake to the fuel rail.

When we checked the return line last night, only a drop or two came out of the return line. Going to pull the vacuum hose to the FPR today to make sure it isn't clogged and maybe remove it from the intake to see if it is clogged up. When we did the test with the injectors we could hear a clicking noise, so far we have not been able to get the car to start because it is too fuel starved. The injectors all worked fine when we the intake was removed. If I were to unplug an injector, can I use a electrical tester to see if current is coming to them for sure (even though the main plug is connected) or would that mess something up?

Still need to recheck the pressure at the rail but have to find a psi gauge that goes up that high, all of ours only go to 10 or 15 psi.

ya you can use a test light just dont use it for too long. your suposed to use a noid light which is made for checking power at the injector plug. If you want to go with the noid light i dont think they are very expensive

That says one of two things. Either the FPR is blocked, which would result in excessive pressure to the rail, or the pump isn't developing normal pressure. Of the two the latter is more likely to be the case.

Jim, I think you just need to take a road trip :). Hoping to pick up a gauge the pressure either today or tomorrow, have to find one that will measure that high. Can there be a block where the vacuum hose connects to the intake itself? Or more likely that it is the unit itself?

the hose to the intake only changes fuel pressureby about 5 psi or so. you could disconnect it and still get fuel to throw through it so if it blocked or not wouldnt matter in this case
