Generally speaking, modern gas fuel injected systems average 30-40+ psi. Older carburator engines only required 3-7 psi. High pressure in the injector helps atomize the fuel for better air-fuel mix. Check maufacturers specs and use proper tools to measure fuel pressure. Eye protection recommended.

    WERE CAN I FIND MANUFACTURES SPECS FOR FUEL P.S.I FOR A 1989 NISSAN P/U 2.4L

  • Larry Jackson May 03, 2016

    Chiltons, Haines or other aftermarket repair manuals should have the manufacturers specs. if it doesn't, its not worth the paper its printed on (recycle value).

I have a 1997 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 L it cranks but it just won't start and when it does starts up whenever I rev the engine it's gets weak and dies trying to figure out what's going on

Has your fuel filter been replaced at all recently? If it hasn't, you could have a clogged filter. Sounds like a fuel delivery problem but it can also be caused by other issues such as ignition problems (spark plugs, wires, etc), fuel injectors, timing.

The first thing I'd do is relieve the fuel pressure and test the fuel pressure. You'll have to "t" in an adapter into the fuel line in order to check it. It should read between 38-44 PSI but double check to make sure that's the correct spec for your vehicle.

See if the fuel pressure drops to below specs when the engine is revved. If the fuel pressure isn't within specs at idle or when revving the engine, I'd suspect the pump needs to be looked at further as the culprit of your problem.

If the fuel pressure checks out, the next thing I'd suspect is a vacuum leak. But vacuum leaks will usually smooth out at higher RPMs, and you won't notice much of an issue driving until you're driving at slower speeds, or at idle. A bottle of water and soap spraying around the possible leaking areas (intake manifold for starters) is a good way to find them.

The truck starts up and during traffic driving or idling, the truck just dies. I need to stop and place in park and restart the engine. A few moments of minutes later, if left idling, the engine will stall...

the gas cap can make your check engine light come on do to not enough vaccum in the take for your evap system and it could cause the vehicle to run a little funny. but highly unlikly this is your problem.if there are no trouble codes or no check engine light this could be very hard to diagnose on-line you may want to take it to a respectable mechanic and have them run an on board diagnostic test on it

Check the vacum line to your fuel pressure regulator, the line may have a crack in it or the regulator may be bad.
