either the fuel line or filter is clogged, or the pump is not operating properly.
Find out how fuel comes out before the filter, then check the flow at the pump
end of things.. not a nice job, but you'll have to single out the cause.

Not afraid of getting a little gasoline on my hands, plus "4A-GE powah" (the power to make you smile) is worth the trouble

Never had problems with low fuel pressure before, so it`s a learning experience.

I took off the fuel pump hose that goes to the fuel pipe, put it in a bottle and tried the pump again, just like it did at the fuel rail, fuel just calmly filled up the bottle instead of shooting it away, the fuel looks very good though so I`m probably looking at a fuel pump gone bad.

Maybe a pump with a little more pep could be a nice insurance too.


No wonder it ran rich the last time I got it started, I can imagine the fuel pressure reg was probably trying to compensate for low pump output which has now gotten so bad theres no way in heck I`m going to get her started until I change the pump.
