  1. I need some help!

    I have a '90 TC thats hard to start. I suspected a fuel problem, so I followed the manual instructions on the fuel pressure test. Fuel pressure is 48+/-2 psi while running, however, it drops to zero when I shut the car off. Watching the gauge while cranking, the pressure takes 5-10 seconds to build up, and the car starts once the pressure reaches about 30. This lead me to suspect a bleed-off issue after shut down. I pinched off the return line while the car was running and the pressure rises to about 70 psi, but drops to zero when I shut the engine off. This eliminated the FPR as a culprit. Next, I pinched off the main fuel line while running and immediately shut the engine off. The pressure stays steady at 48 psi. This eliminated the injectors as the culprit.

    So, is the system SUPPOSED to bleed off ALL pressure once the engine is shut down?Or should some remain to ensure an easier start? Should the pressure be bleeding back through the pump?

    I have found nothing in either the TC manual or Chilton's that describes this issue.

    PLEASE HELP!!
