Need someone with know how on this.
Engine: B16A, with SARD FPR and Hi Flow Fuel Pump.
Problem: Fuel pressure is not being retained within the fuel system after ignition is switched off.
When the ignition is switch on, Fuel pump cycles and fuel pressure readings point correctly (48psi). When Pump completes initial cycle, Fuel pressure drops to 0.
When the engine is started, fuel pressure jumps back to correct pressure.
With vacuum tube off, pressure increase correspondingly (which is correct)
As you accelerate, it drops down to about 40psi and maintains.
When engine is killed. Pressure drops straight back to 0.
Now with these system, there is always residuel pressure. Not in this case.
The is no leak in the engine bay. No petrol smells etc.
If there was a leak anywhere at all, the system wouldn't be able to hold its pressure at all, and the engine won't run! This is where I'm completely perplex by the issue.
Any engine technicians here able to help? I'm going to pull the fuel pump tomorrow and check if there are any split lines or loose clamps.
Cheers
