Re: [DML] fuel pressure problems

["Dave Sontos" <dsontos@xxxx>]

Ok, I'm going out on a limb here. Have you checked for plugged injectors
yet. This is my logic. Since we only have six cylinders, if one or two
injectors get plugged or stop working will result in a higher gas pressure
in the remaining system. Therefore putting more gas into the working
cylinders, hence black smoke and also the fact that the engine will not idle
when the CO screw is leaned out and will not idle under 4000 RPM.
