I have a 1993 ford mustang gt. I was running low on gas one day and right before I got to the gas station my car was hesistaing and kinda backfiring. I thought it was because I was low on gas . I put gas in it ..and no help. I have since changed the fuel filter and in tank fuel pump..and still nothing. I have a fuel pressure guage on the car and it reads 20 psi....my car should run at about 42 psi (supercharged).

Now the thing is if i disconnect the mass air meter the car runs fine...( I have changed that out also)...but still only runs on 20 psi.

Could it be my adj.fuel pressure regulator??
I cannot increase fuel pressure.

When you unplug the MAF, the fuel pressure comes up to spec?

If the pump is not within specs, it won't run right. Sounds like a new pump is in order.
