I'm not sure what you mean by pinch off the outlet line??  Of the Pierburg??
I tried pinching the output/return line from the AFPR to see what happens to
the FP but the car stalls.

 

 

If I need to change the in tank pump what is the thinking as to what pump to
use??  Again I'm running a Pierburg for the added FP the AFPR needs so
should I just use a stock pump?

The tank pump will obstruct flow if it's not running.  There's also a sock
filter on its pickup.  A quickie test for the Pierburg is to momentarily
pinch off its outlet line.

The car

 

1992 1.6 engine/JR supercharger running 6 psi/Pierburg Pump/BEGI AFPR (old
style) car has 150,000 miles on it and the Sebring system has been on it for
about 35k.

 

The problem is that I don't develop enough fuel pressure.

 

Was running about 75-80 psi in the past.  Now I can't get more than 65 and
it doesn't hold that.

 

No WB but the NB unit never shows the A/F going full rich anymore.

 

Changed the fuel filter.  Made sure the Pierburg is running.

 

Could the tank pump be bad and the Pierburg isn't capable of overcoming the
load of a bad tank pump??

 

Or could the problem just be the AFPR??  I turned the adjustment screw a
little and got no real difference in the pressures.  I hate to mess with the
setting on it since the car was running well and the thing is a PITA to
adjust.
