What psi should the fuel pump be?

There's no single "correct" PSI for a fuel pump. The required fuel pressure varies greatly depending on the vehicle's make, model, year, and engine. You must consult your vehicle's repair manual or a reliable online resource specific to your car's year, make, and model.

Trying to find the correct fuel pressure using a generic PSI value could damage your fuel injectors or engine. Incorrect fuel pressure can lead to poor performance, misfires, or even engine failure.

Instead of searching for a generic PSI, find your vehicle's specifications. This information is usually found in:

* Your owner's manual: This is the best place to start.

* A reputable online repair manual: Sites like Chilton or Haynes often have detailed specifications.

* Your vehicle's fuel rail: Some fuel rails have the specification stamped on them. (This is less common).

* A qualified mechanic: A mechanic can diagnose fuel pressure issues and provide accurate readings.

Using the incorrect fuel pressure is risky and potentially expensive. Always consult the correct specifications for your vehicle.
