Lets you and me come up with a plan 200 1985

for I-5, as if we were trying to help one of our own sons or daughters to get their daily driver back on the road. Lets keep it as simple as possible. I'm glad he didn't go for changing the shaft seals on this go-round.

I will start by assuring ourselves of that spark + timing presumption, and ask I-5 to buy a can of starting fluid, connect a straw to the valve, and inject 1 second's worth into the vacuum port used to compensate the fuel pressure regulator. Not into the regulator, but into the manifold. 1 second. Then crank and try to start.

We'll get to the fuel rail pressure and injector operation afterward. I have a feeling I've already told you my tale of using a refrigeration tap to make a fuel pressure gauge adapter.
