Electronically controlled engine, there is no idle screw. There is am APPS, and it's adjustable.

FWIW the air dog light is spot on and more accurate than a fuel pressure gauge , its reading right off the pump , if i have less than 1/4 tank and go around a sharp corner it will come on for a second just like clock work , mean while my fuel pressure gauge barely moves.

Love the light , it lets me know when i need fuel

I believe that light works off the pressure before the filters not after like your gauge.

Dear crzy- Did you bleed all the air out of all the injector lines? Sometimes it takes a lot longer than you think. Especially with as much fuel line massaging as you have been doing lately. On my 98.5 - new pinj pump and FASS- I think to get rid of all the air it took over a week and bleeding it every other day.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

One more thing my friend - I forgot how much water my FASS removed out of the tank at first - I had to drain the water filter every 100 miles for a while- I must have had a lot in the tank. When the filter was full of water it sputtered especially when you really needed to dip into - like heavy towing lotsa traffic and it sucks pulling over and draining it into a DOT approved diesel receptacle (yeah right I know what your thinking) on the side of the highway. After 4 or five tanks - only had to drain at fill up as I really enjoy it. BTW - the drained water/fuel mixture is a really good tool cleaner so save it and reuse it.
