checking fuel pressure 94 3800 v6,? 10 psi ????
:( Ok checking fuel pressure on a 1994 Lesabre 3800 when the gage is hooked up and key turned on pressure goes to 46 psi and after 2 or 3 seconds you hear a "click" from the EGR valve and pressure drops to 10 psi.Unhook EGR and it does the same thing.It doesnt drop slow it jsut drops real quick. Start car and pressure goes to 38 psi and stays while driving.Car seems to run rough at low speed 35mph thats why I was checking pressure. Any idea what the click noise is and why it drops so quick ?
Thanks
Thanks

"Key on"? Is that key on, without starting? The reason I ask is that the fuel pump will run for 2-3 seconds with key on, and if the engine is not cranked it will shut off. If you are not cranking, then perhaps what you are hearing is the fuel pump relay clicking off. Personally I have never heard that but I am just trying to apply some logic. I am guessing that maybe the reason for the quick drop in fuel pressure is a stuck open check valve at the fuel pump. Does this make sense to anyone or am I blowing smoke?

I'm betting a bad FPR. It'* not holding pressure. But you're right about the timing thing. This likely has nothing to do with the EGR (not really possible, anyway), and is just a time issue.
