Fuel Pressure Test

[OwnerCS]

Yesterday I tested the fuel pressure to find the following results.

1) Ignition on at 44 PSI.
2) After start up, pressure settled down to 34/35 PSI.

I found the hoses to be in surprisingly good shape. It really says a lot for OEM hoses that are now approaching 20 years old.

Pictures are posted below.

Very nice and clean engine compartment. And your fuel pressure is very close to ideal (43/34 PSI).

Super looking engine compartment. If Maxnix was with us I'm sure he'd be able to spot something that needed fixing. It doesn't take much to keep it clean once you've taken the time to get it to this point.

Excellent results, beautiful engine compartment, and thanks for sharing . You plenum looks shiny .

OK... (channeling Maxnix) Time to flush that brake fluid (Maxnix off)

Seriously... that engine bay looks prisine! And I would flush that fluid to try to preserve the seals on your ABS actuator. They're prone to leaking on the early Q45s.

He is missing the OEM battery box, red rubber postive cable end cover and the shock tower bolt covers (Made of plastic). Oh and looks like he put in a new negative battery lead on the cable.

I am only kidding its a fantastic engine bay!

LOL - Thanks guys! For bleeding the brakes, will one of those vacuum pumping brake bleeding "one man" operation gadgets do the job?

....and for Brian because I know he's lurking....the rubber boot over the hood open/closed plunger (by the MAF) is missing.

I have a couple of the shock tower bolt covers (plastic disks) if you'd like them. PM or email me.

What happened to Brian {maxnix}, have not seen him post for ages????

[Q451990]

I received an email from him a couple of weeks ago. One of his Qs had an engine-destroying hydrolock experience from a leaking lower o-ring. He asked me to reset his password, and did, but I haven't seen him post yet.

I hope the engine survived. I learned a lot from Brian and Dennis about the Q.

What a shame

[Q451990]

He mentioned a hole in the side of the engine.

I have exchanged emails with Brian, and knew about his Q troubles- but still cant figure out why such an active member dropped off the boards.....thought maybe I missed something? Seems like traffic here has dwindled to almost none since the forum switchover thing happened?
