I changed out my FPR earlier today and to my surprise, and disappointment, it still didn't solve my problem. I really had high hopes that this would do the trick.
With the key turned to ON, I get closer to 48psi now compared to 43psi before I changed it. After I start the car I am getting 84psi compared to the 78psi to 84psi before I changed it. I also pulled off the vacuum line with the engine running and there was no change. I was able to position the pressure gauge so I can see it from inside the car. While the car was in gear but holding down the brake, I am able to rev the engine enough so that it bogs down. The fuel pressure is still above 80psi while the engine is bogging down.
I'm not exactly sure of the mechanics behind the supercharger but it also seems that the bogging happens whenever the supercharger is giving boost according to the dashboard gauge. Could part of the problem be that the engine is getting extra fuel because of the boost but not enough air to match and is therefore dumping in way too much fuel with out enough air to back it up? Like I said, I'm not sure of the mechanics behind the S/C but I'm grasping for straws. I still don't think this would explain the reason for such high fuel pressure.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
