What should the fuel pressure be at idle?
Fuel pressure should be within specifications when the key is on, then drop 4 to 6 psi once the engine starts and is idling. Note: Some vehicle manufacturers list pressure specifications for both KOEO and idle, while others only list a fuel pressure specification for one or the other.
What causes a car to run lean at idle?
If the root cause is an electrical problem within the idle air control valve itself, you will likely have to replace the IAC. A vacuum leak is a hole in a vehicle’s air intake system behind the mass air flow (MAF) sensor that allows unmetered air into the engine. This throws off the expected air fuel ratio and causes the vehicle to run lean.
How does the idle speed of an engine work?
The engine’s idle speed is controlled by how much air is allowed to bypass the throttle via the idle bypass circuit in the throttle body. The PCM monitors idle speed and operates a solenoid or small electric motor to move a valve that regulates airflow through the air bypass circuit.
Why is idle speed not coming back up?
If the ISC system is working correctly, the PCM should adjust idle speed to keep the engine from lugging down when the A/C compressor engages. If idle speed drops down and does not come back up, the ISC system is not responding the way it should.
What makes a 1989 Ford F250 idle real rough?
You can’t post conmments that contain an email address. 1989 ford f250 w/460 acts like choke is closed but has no choke! what gives? my truck is fuel injected but acts like the choke is closed as it emits black smoke and idles real rough ! have replaced map sensor,air valve, e.g.r,plugs,wires but no help.
What causes the Check Engine light to turn off at idle?
At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. The check engine light will randomly turn on and off even if the car is running smoothly without any jerks and stalling.
Can a bad throttle position sensor cause idle surging?
Idle surging can be caused due to other issues in the car, but if it happens in conjunction with other throttle position sensor symptoms, the culprit is often the TPS. At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. 3) Check Engine Light
Is the warrior Idles fine when trying to accelerate?
The warrior idles fine. I’ve adjusted to air mix screw back and forth. It changes the idol but doesn’t seem to improve things when I try to rev it up. 2.25 turns seems to be the sweet spot, as far as idol. The needle is where zoom put it.
Fuel pressure should be within specifications when the key is on, then drop 4 to 6 psi once the engine starts and is idling. Note: Some vehicle manufacturers list pressure specifications for both KOEO and idle, while others only list a fuel pressure specification for one or the other.
Can a stalling engine be intermittent driveability?
Intermittent driveability problems of any kind are always a challenge to diagnose. When a customer brings you a vehicle and complains of a stalling problem, you may not have much to go on other than their description of what’s happening and when it happens.
How does the PCM control the idle speed?
The PCM monitors idle speed and operates a solenoid or small electric motor to move a valve that regulates airflow through the air bypass circuit. If the ISC valve is gummed up with fuel varnish or dirt, it may stick, preventing the engine from maintaining the proper idle speed when the throttle closes.
Is it normal to drive in severe driving conditions?
You’re not alone. A recent AAA study found that only 6 percent of drivers polled said they felt like they drove mostly in severe conditions. But when asked about their actual driving behaviors, 62 percent said that their driving behaviors align with severe driving conditions all or most of the time.
How much does an idle air control valve cost?
That means you’ll need to pay both parts and labor costs. The average replacement cost of an idle air control valve is between $120 and $500. The parts could cost anywhere from $45 to more than $400, while the labor is only around $70. Of course, the labor cost really depends on the hourly rate of the mechanic.
How is TPS used in a fuel injection system?
The TPS provides the most direct signal to the fuel injection system of what power demands are being made by the engine. The TPS signal is continually measured and combined many times per second with other data such as air temperature, engine RPM, air mass flow, and how quickly the throttle position changes.
40 psi would be enough to run the engine at idle. It will just have to compensate when in closed loop. You will only have real issues at high load. What type of pressure regulator are you using?
When to check fuel pressure with engine running?
Check the pressure as soon as you turn the key to run. It may drop a little as soon as the pump shuts off. With return-style fuel systems the pressure will be 8-10 psi lower when it is running depending on your engine vacuum.
How much fuel pressure does a 5.3 LS need?
Spec for the 5.3 is 55-62 psi according to the Haynes manual. Keeping this in view, what is the correct fuel pressure? Fuel Pressure For example a carbureted engine typically requires between 4 to 7 psi whereas a typical GM LS engine runs on about 58 psi.
What should the fuel pressure be on a Jaguar?
If pressure is not within specifications, there’s a problem that will require further diagnosis. On certain Jaguar engines, for example, the factory spec calls for 37 psi of fuel pressure. If you see 36 psi or 38 psi, you need to replace the fuel pressure regulator. The volume of fuel delivered by the fuel pump to the injectors is also critical.
What should fuel pump pressure be at idle?
Pump capacities can always be higher than specifications, but should never be lower. So if you get a pump that is flow rated at 0.4 gpm and you install it in a vehicle that requires 0.5 or 0.6 gpm, the pump may supply enough fuel at idle and low rpm, but may starve the engine at higher loads and speeds.
What should fuel pressure be when engine is off?
Key off engine off 48 psi. Engine acceleration jumps to 45 for a second and drops back to 42. Check the pressure as soon as you turn the key to run. It may drop a little as soon as the pump shuts off. With return-style fuel systems the pressure will be 8-10 psi lower when it is running depending on your engine vacuum.

Repeat several key turns and note pressure. Then start the engine and note pressure. Fuel pressure must be 55-60-psi with engine running at idle. Alldatadiy.com and Eautorepair.net are professional-grade shop manuals—period. They include wiring diagrams and technical service bulletins.
Where is the fuel pressure test port on a Ford 4.6L?
These instruction pertain to Ford 4.6L 2-valve, 4.6L 3-valve, 5.4L 3-valve and 6.2L 2-valve engine. It shows where the fuel pressure test port is and how to test. On a 4.6L 3-valve, unscrew the Evaporative Emission purge valve bracket and move the bracket to the side. That will allow access to the fuel test port
What happens to fuel pressure sensor under pressure?
The internal resistance of the FRP sensor increases as the pressure increases. As the resistance climbs, so does the voltage drop, and then so does the fuel pressure PID. The FRP sensor also houses an engine fuel temperature sensor (EFT). The PCM also is looking at voltage drop at the EFT as well.
Where do I find the low fuel pressure code?
The only code it throws now is the low fuel pressure. Dont have any max7’s but on the dt’s ive had good luck replacing the fuel pressure regulator down in the filter bowl not sure where thats at on your bus I looked up on I know and told me this. 1. Using EST, open the D_ContinuousMonitor.ssn.
If the ISC system is working correctly, the PCM should adjust idle speed to keep the engine from lugging down when the A/C compressor engages. If idle speed drops down and does not come back up, the ISC system is not responding the way it should.
What to do when engine stall Idle Stop?
Aim for the little air bypass holes in the throttle opening. Use the small plastic tube that attaches to the nozzle on the aerosol can to aim the cleaner directly into the bypass port (s). Let the cleaner soak for at least 10 minutes before giving it another blast of cleaner.
