Well i officially feel stupid today. Went out to change the fuel filter cuz the car isnt throwing any codes for me. Little history on the car I totally forgot about. Long story short i had a fuel line rupture on the fire wall and had to replace it. My quick fix with what i had was to install new tubing. Did this and all was well, until i went out tonight and tried to put in a new fuel filter. See i ran new tubing from off the fuel rail down to where the previous owner had a fuel line break, worked great or so it seemed. I accidently cut the fuel filter out of the system completely. So yeah thats where I am at the moment. Car still runs ok but not perfect when cold, runs like total crap after you drive it for about 1/2hr...dont know what to do next....my fuel psi drops to almost nothing when I have it WOT, maybe a fuel pump...or injectors or something?

It'* pretty much sounding like your fuel pump isn't able to keep up with the demands, and likely needs replacement. Another possibility is a clogged strainer sock, but that'* attached to fuel pump, so it would have to be pulled anyway.

my suggestion is to zip off a set of injectors for cleaning at FIE a recognized vendor. Great service and he turns them around quick. Ensure those screens aren't clogged from debris. However with the fuel pressure you are posting, I'm not surprised your car is dying. You need to replace the fuel pump and strainer sock (along with adding a fuel filter.
92 tanks are known for internal issues, and you may want to consider a tank while you are at it. Last time I priced a tank it was around $70 (matter of fact..I'm gonna order one today..mines rusty and getting a new pump).
Once you get a fresh pump, good fuel filter and clean injectors I'd think you will be all set.
I have seen pressures that low before.. car would surge, buck and overall not want to stay running on corners and hills.

So this coming weekend I am goin to replace the fuel pump. Couple questions, which one is the right fuel pump? I have researched them online cuz they seem to be much cheaper on here, and found that my car has had a couple different ones that could work or so it seems. Just wondering if anyone had a pic or any info on which one I need. Its a 1992 ssei. thanks for any info!!
