CathedralCub is a splendid one to behold

No need to start it if you have 20PSI. Need to fix that first then start it and diagnose other stuff.

I agree. Fix the fuel pressure issue first. Which means replacing the fuel pump. Until that happens, don't do anything else.

So that he can nuke the UIM when it backfires?

Is the FPR still original as well? Is it possible this is another reason for the low pressure?

What does the fuel pressure do if you cycle the key multiple times to get multiple fuel pump primings?
