well i've been trying to figure out why my '88 bronco II runs so bad when it gets warm, but not so bad when its cold. i tested the fuel pressure and this is what i came up with:
key on, not running- 35 psi.
idling- jumps around from 27-30 psi., i'd say closest to 29.
giving it gas- jumps to about 36 psi.
is this normal? it seems low, but what especially has me worried is the way it jumps around when it's idling. i would think it should be at a steady 30 psi., but i could be wrong. also, how many volts should be going to the external pump if i test it at the pink and black connector by the master cylinder? i was thinking that it might not be getting enough power to it, and thats what makes it run bad when the pump over heats. another thing i cant figure out is how do i narrow it down to either the in-tank pump, or the external pump if one is bad? any help is greatly appreciated, as i'm really ready to get this thing running good. thanks!
