Default Help!! May have a big problem

Got new injectors in but was driving today and when I come to a stop, fuel pressure drops to 11 and sometimes 0. Truck starts idleing funny until I start to go again. I have no idea what the problem could be, does anybody have any input on what the problem is? Thanks

Use a different fuel pressure guage to verify the reading. Probably the lift pump.

Your BD Diesel Lift pupm is junk when you start modifyin your truck. its gott for a stock truck and thats about it....i have one and regret purchasing it. Do the right thing and purchase Fass or Air Dog

at wot the lift pump cant supply enough fuel pressure and volume for your vp44 to supply your new 150 injectors. at idle the fuel pressure will be higher because it is being restricted.
Is it hard to start?
