Fuel pressure/pump

I think my pump is going out .What is the pressure or psi supposed to be on the 06 2wd 4cyl?
An is there anything else to check .?
Seemed to not have Power as giving gas a few times an this time it died as going 30.No resrart..I know trash can get in the line too...It has 1/4 in tank.but ill add more fresh an HEET ,in case of any water..
Any Informationen is appreciated.

 

Engine running fuel pressure should be 41 psi +/- 1 psi

 

NVM - 4cyl i dont believe have a fuel pump resistor.

Though they might have a relay, check that.

 

This one doesnt have a external filter does it? I think its built into the pump.Yes im gonna check the relay.I dont hear it kick in as I turn key to aux.
Do the other injector fuses factor it ? Ill check those too.

 

Filter is in the pump unit which is in the tank.

Fuel pump does not prime at key on, it only runs during cranking and once the engine has started.

Are you sure it has fuel in it? Being empty with the gauge showing 1/4 tank or more is relatively common.

 

Ok.Thanks ,yes I just read it only enguages after turning over.. went an put 3/4 to 1 gallon in it- an some seafoam.is that enough...?

 

Should be enough to tell you if it's gona run or not, I wouldn't worry about putting any additives in it.

 

Started..I guess the float is just inaccurate ...?

 

Pretty common for the sending unit to get skewed with age.

 

Yep,the float has its mood "swings" ,lol,-today I drive it an its at 33% full then next start up,a hour later, 52%.....Maybe the MMO an any left over seafoam may be unstickimg the float,but im not sure...Does it get more erradict or fluctuate more as its failing ,on float- guage ?

 

IMO, use an Ultragauge and fill the tank. Keep track of your tank content that way and periodically look at the dash gauge as well.

If it's just the needle, I wouldn't bother pulling it all apart.

 

Whats Ultraguage? Something u put on outside?

Yes ill do the miles odometet thing..How many miles on a full tank do these get an how manny gallon size tank?.Its the base cab 4cyl,automatic 2wd.
I wish I knew how much fuel is truly is in it right now as I fill up but I guess the pump will stop when its full.
Thanks

I wouldn't run it down to nothing but it's pretty close to accurate providing you set it up properly.

21 gallon tank. I surmise you get around 20mpg, at least that's what my 2010 2WD is pulling.

 

Is that similar to my ELM327 obd2 reader,i have.?..ill bet theres a app w fuel guage- I know there is w temp an rpm an speed..

 

2nd gens don't report fuel level on OBD so a scan tool won't help you watch it.
An untragauge/scangauge calculates fuel usage and DTE pretty close if you "train" it right.

 

This..if you set it up properly it's close enough for what OP is trying to do, and certainly a cheaper option than tearing things apart at least in the initial going.
