looking for LIL QIK

hey bro i was reading and going through the site and searching for some other problems that i can fix, and found someone talking about fuel pressure, that if to much fuel pressure can cause idle problems, well i check my fuel pressure, and if i remember correctly the fuel pressure was close to 55lbs on idle and 60lbs when i push on the gas, which ive heard is extrembly hi. And that the normal fuel pressure should be about 38lbs to 40lbs something like that is that correct, could that be causing my idle problems! since you helped me LIL QIK let me know bro and thanks for all your help!! :tup:

What's going on man.....? Well...I can't remember your exacts specs but for some reason I think I remember you telling me that you've never gone into the motor.....and you're not running any kind of extra boost. That being said...I would have to say that 55psi is on the high side. I would set it at around 45 (with vac removed) and then go from there. If it wasn't for old Ike out there in the Gulf....we could go ahead and take a look at it this weekend. If you do mess with it before the storm hits....I would definitely get your base timing set before you to anything else. I don't think that the fuel pressure is going to give you your low map problem....but I would say that it is currently high. But the high pressure could be contributing to the idle problem....along with the timing setup.
