Default What can cause high fuel PSI!?

For some reason I cannot get my b16 to drop below 80 PSI, I'm running a built b16 w/ a p28 chipped, I had to wire the injectors myself, but am pretty sure I did everything right!

What can cause high fuel PSI?

I have a new fuel filter, B&M gauge, STR rail and AEM FPR.

I've been banging my head agianist the wall, and can't figure it out, could someone give me some insight!?

Thanks.

Kinked or clogged return line
FPR not working correctly

You must be reading fuel pressue at the fuel filter with the B&M gauge?

It was 80+ PSI with stock regulator.

I am reading the pressure at the filter, I also have an A/F gauge that is constantly rich, even at idle.

New o2 sensor.

I might have a slight vacumm leak from the t/b to charcoal canister, but that will be resolved soon.

I have never really heard of that one, but try putting every thing back to stock and at one part at a time and that might point to whats wrong.

That's a good thought. Maybe I will give it a try this weekend.

I've heard from someone else that a kink in the return fuel line, I will check that as well.

Any other suggestions.

STR fuel rail huh? I bet that is your problem. I believe you have to drill out the hole for the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail itself. Aftermarket fuel rails don't usually have that hole drilled so you can use different types of fuel pressure regulators. Check that.
