"Fuel pressure" refers to the force at which fuel is delivered to the engine. It indicates how strong the flow of fuel is, which helps ensure that the engine receives the correct amount of fuel for efficient combustion and optimal performance.
Full definition
If the pressure drops to zero when the key is turned off then you have a leaking
fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump.
This may be caused by many things such as
low fuel pressure, a bad mass air flow sensor or a faulty idle air control valve.
So your question is about the impact of changing regulated
fuel pressure on engine operation?
If a vehicle struggles with hot starts but is fine with cold starts, it indicates that there is a lack of
fuel pressure in the fuel lines.
Other technologies have been introduced such as direct injection
with fuel pressure increased to 250 bar and a special combustion chamber design to optimize the air - fuel mixture.
This may be due to a stuck float not allowing the needle valve to open right, or
if fuel pressure was bad it may not be keeping up with demand.
A lightweight, aluminum fuel pump with a suction control valve allows delivery of the exact amount of fuel requested, avoiding energy waste that is normally necessary in
regulating fuel pressure.
If you were
losing fuel pressure at speed, I think you may find the pump is either cutting out or losing pressure.
One of the ways you could overcome this issue is by replacing your old regulator with an
adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
In the engine, components such as low - friction piston rings, a
variable fuel pressure module, and upgraded software for the engine control module improve overall operation.
Hi There, It sounds like you may have a dirty or faulty idle air control valve or potentially a bad
fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump.
Fuel pressure in the rocket's third - stage engine dropped suddenly for unknown reasons, causing the engine to shut down prematurely.
If you're having engine performance problem that indicates a lack
of fuel pressure, I recommend having a professional diagnose the concern.
It's throwing codes
for fuel pressure, do the high pressure fuel pump and follows go bad in the 2013's?
Full abba stands, 4T axle stands, a 4T jack, comprehensive spanner + socket set, oil /
fuel pressure gauges, screwdrivers, grinders, drills, impact wrench, torque wrenches, breaker bars, various bearing pullers, gear pullers and more.
Have computer scanned for cam or crank sensor failure and have
fuel pressure tested to see if fuel pump is bad?
I agree with Arturs answer about
high fuel pressure but I suspect a different root cause for the high pressure.
I have seen quite a few brand new pumps come in to the shop with
fuel pressure issues that had broken pintles when I pulled the pump.
My situation was a
faulty fuel pressure sensor, which the DTC was pretty good about highlighting for me about a pressure sensor reading high or something.
On Wednesday, a Soyuz rocket failed
when fuel pressure in its third - stage engine dropped suddenly, stopping the engine prematurely.
Referring to my GMC manual, I see no «official» procedure for testing
fuel pressure while the engine is running.
Initially my mechanic diagnosed that
fuel pressure drops to zero once vehicle is turned off, then has to rebuild pressure to injectors to restart vehicle.
When this is less than what is needed in order for the motor to fire or in some cases higher than normal, you may notice an erratic fluctuation in engine RPMs, hard starting or a lack of power when accelerating as the engine may be starved for fuel if
insufficient fuel pressure exists in the fuel system.
