383 hsr fuel pressure loss
using a universal holley external pump http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HLY-12-920/
26 pound accel injectors 45 psi set on the regulater works fine till the engine warms up about 20 mins in i floor the pedal and itll sputter and my fp gauge dropps dramatically down to 20 psi or so give or take 5 pounds its enough to keep it running i have heard these 2 pop up alot amperage overload or possible vapor lock any suggestions crummy fuel pump?

Re: 383 hsr fuel pressure loss
using a painless tpi map sensor harness holley regulator 7730 computer chiped by motovation ......the motor is a 383 blueprintengine it doesnt happen often and i have changed pumps cause i thought that was the problem and i bought the suggested parts for amp overload put the pump on a seperate relay with a circuit breaker it only happens when i get on it when the engine gets warmed up other then that for easy driving its fine all the time

Re: 383 hsr fuel pressure loss
Have a look in the DIY PROM board, LOTS of good information there for getting started on chip burning.

Re: 383 hsr fuel pressure loss
im having the same exact problem and pressure readings. i changed the regulator this morning and nothing. im going to try a new pump. 1 thing it can be on my first iroc the rubber hose that connects to the fuel pump was old and spongy and was pumping the fuel right back in to the tank.

Re: 383 hsr fuel pressure loss
mines about 40 idling and drops as low as 20-25 and it gets worse as it gets hot and only notice a drop under hard acceleration. it really isnt noticed i still have decent power but im changing the pump in about a week so ill let you know what happens

Re: 383 hsr fuel pressure loss
Hey Johnny
I have the exact same fuel pressure problem as you, only I have mine set to 50psi at cold start up and by the time the car is hot, it stops dropping at 34psi, did changing your fuel pump correct this problem?
Or does this problem have something to do with our headers and gas lines or even higher engine temps and fpr?
