How do I check my cam timing? I was just going to check my timing with a timing light.

your fuel pressure is 60psi????? is it static or not? it seem too high to me. amyway, if u want to get rid of the 54, just connect the b4 to b1.
So this won't affect anything? I am getting this code too since I put in a reprogrammed GS-R ECU (OBDII) I'm guessing it has something to do with the program, as far as I know the OBDII was disabled...guess he left this sensor out?

So it won't mess with my performance if I connect B1 to B4?

IO got it tuned with 55psi on the FPR. I have stock compression with ctr cams. Its nothing that needs 60psi of fuel. It should be 55psi. I still have no idea how it would change by itself. Can a change in timing adjust the fuel pressure? I will check my timing tomorrow. Thanks for the responses.

Alright, I checked the timing today and it was at 18 just like how it was before. I still have the hesitation/lagging in acceleration. The car just doesnt pull anymore. I went into vtec today to see what would happen and when vtec engages and the secondaries open it is nothing but noise. There is no power in acceleration. What else should I check? Since I reset the ecu yesterday the check engine light hasn't turned on. The fpr is set at 63-64psi with the vacuum hose off. HELP!

Here's the new scoop. When I warm up the car in the morning and try to go in 1st gear it always wants to die on me so I have to add more gas than usual. Then one I get her rolling she stutters to go forward. It seems like she is choking or something. The same will happen in second gear and after than she seems to run fine. This wont happen again in 1st or any other gear after it happens the first time.

Could this mean there is an oil clog and after driving a little it gets burned away? Fuel clog? Anyone have any idea? Thanks

BTW The CEL for the ckf sensor is gone now. It has been gone for 4 days.

Well what do you know? I replaced the B&M fpr today with the stock one and my car runs like a champ! I am soooo relieved. I guess the fpr crapped out somehow and thats why it was showing such high fuel pressure numbers.
