You need to check your fuel pressure.

You need to drill and tap the banjo bolt on the injector pump inlet. Use 1/8" npt tap and get the appropriate fittings. You will also need a needle valve to dampen the pressure spikes from the injector pump. Youre setup should look like this:

This can sometimes be a sign that its not putting out the correct pressure but in order to be 100% sure you must check the fuel pressure with a gauge.

Are there any kits available that include everything needed including tapped bolt? -

Never seen one. This is an easy thing if you do a little research. -

your fuel pressure should be around 45 psi at wide open throttle if i remember right -

Yeah, good point - get a 0-60 psi guage. -

i changed the filter and it seems to be running better and not quite as loud but i will check the pressure ,the wires on the bottom of the fuel drain plug broke and i caint plug it back in but oh well it didnt have any trouble firing up is that for the water in fuel light ?and it will start now without having to give it a galon o fuel while crankin, but will drill the banjo this weekend and make sure ,Thanks i will let you know what i find -

Yes, that should be for the wif sensor. No big deal.

if you installed a permanant fuel pressure guage in the cab and you would know when its time to change the fuel filter.


Whats youre idle at in gear or in drive? That can make a difference too -

I bought my FP gauge from Kenny at Ken's Performance. We went though some trials and got everything worked out. Isspro now sells the needle valve that is needed to dampen the pulses and Kenny should be able to put all that together for you. On my '98 I could uses the 24V boost bolt in the stock fuel filter housing but the '95 has a different housing IIRC....anyway....I'm sure Kenny can fix you up with a kit. -

haha yea your right sometimes we forget simple crap like that untill its to late, on the idle i will check , what should it be is it www. kens performance.com for the guage kit? -

I started with a mechanical gauge and we had some problems with the 12V beating the hell out of the gauge.....I put snubbers and needle valves on and even had Isspro send me different size pistons for the snubber.....I ended up with a EV2 electric gauge and the snubber and all is fine. Kenny was fantastic as well as Isspro to work with through the entire deal. I promise you will find NO ONE goes as far as Kenny does for his customers. -

thanks i will give em a try -
