Without giving you guys an overly long story, hoping you can confirm the fuel pressure readings I am seeing are as they should be. Background is that I am trying to get my semi-recently acquired '86 eta automatic to pass smog. It's very close, passes everything easily except high NOX at 25 mph - just over the limit. This lead me to looking into the fuel system as that's normally a lean condition, and the car was sitting for a couple of years before I bought it so I figured the fuel system could be a bit gummed up.
After throwing a bunch of parts at it, I am now seeing 30 psi at idle, which bumps up to 36 with any appreciable load. Is this correct? Bentley tells me I should have 36 psi (or 2.5 bar) all the time, but I only reach that under load, with idle and light load coming in at 2 bar.
FWIW, I have already replaced the FPR, fuel filter, and high pressure fuel pump. Injectors are fresh rebuilds from RC engineering. I have not re-smogged since replacing the FPR and pump, but want to confirm the pressure readings I am seeing are correct. Can anyone advise?
