about 41 psi, it goes to 48 when you turn the key on then drops back about 5 psi then when running it stays at 41 untill you rap the gas then jumps to like 50. Question is is this about normal or is she getting weak ?

Many times people don't purge all the air out and the reading will look low. I wanted to double check that before saying that it looked a little lower than the spec.

Hold the presses.
The FP test for my 97 Bonne says to key on over and over as you bleed the air out of the FP tester. Then key on a few more times to achieve the highest pressure. Leave it for 10 minutes and see if it bleeds down.
47-52 is acceptable if I remember correctly.

ok just did a retest; heres the scoop; 1998 Bonnie with 208k miles blead the air turned the key on and off a few times then started it, it stayed at around 42 psi running until you rapped the gas then went to 50 psi. Disconneceted FPR line an ran it and it went to 51 psi.
1999 park Ave with 70k ran at 44 psi roughly then 52 psi with the FPR disconnected, now whcha thinkin' ?
Thanks Bill

Just got off the phone with BIll and read him your latest test. He said do the test with key on then off WITHOUT starting it and report back.
