Default well i finally checked my fuel press.

well i found my f.p. tester, it said about 7 at idle and mabey one at wide open, ive had a 216 code for about 5 months now, i know i need a vp but funding is in the way, i think my buddy its going to get a hot rod vp, so im going to take his and put it in my truck and use mine as a core but im not sure what i need to do, i might try to rebuild it, ive read all the 'its not worth it' 'its not going to work' threads, but i dont know $50 compared to $1200, we will see tho

Take his pump and install it. Take the money saved and get a Raptor or similar AT LEAST. Don't let is happen again. MINIMUM 10 PSI!!
