Re: Fuel Pump Pressure??

Everyone's suggestions have been quite good, especially those to help you diagnose the problem.
Has the car sat for a long time? could the gas have gone bad? What I'm getting around to is to say I'd be suspect of the fuel pump. I've had a couple of cars in my shop that the valves in the pump have become sticky due to bad gas. They either stick closed or simply stick some of the time. The old diaphragms start to leak and will loose vacuum ability with little damage evidenced to the eye. With the new fuels, this problem is more common.

So, if you check the line and it is OK, my bet is on the pump.
Good luck.
