2002 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 what is the fuel pressure supposed to be?

The fuel pressure specification for a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L engine isn't a single number, it varies slightly depending on the testing conditions (engine running or key-on-engine-off). You'll need to consult your specific vehicle's repair manual for the precise specifications.

However, a generally accepted range for a similar vehicle and engine is between 35-55 PSI (pounds per square inch) with the engine running. The pressure will be lower (around 40-45 PSI) with the Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) test.

Crucially, you should not rely on this general range. Always refer to your owner's manual or a reputable repair manual for your specific model year and engine to get the precise fuel pressure specification. Incorrect fuel pressure can severely damage your engine.
