Back to the fuel pressure. Your using a handheld gauge right? Because I just had an issue with my autometer gauge messing with me and reading low, so I went and finaly bought a handheld universail kit, and hooked it up to find my fuel pressure was fine right were it should be. Wild shot, but maybe try another gauge if you can. Buy one and return it if you have to. Make sure it will fit Ford small schrader valve, and is not for carbs. Most efi kits are fine. I picked mine up on sale for $40, listed at $55. Sorry to make you run around, but you do need to get that figured out, it may or may not be the cause of the misfire. It at least has to be ruled out.



Why are you asking me a dorky question like that?

If the end goal is a car that runs right and if the results show he has a car that runs right...

-driveability
-expected level of performance
-fuel economy
-emissions

Then he doesn't have a problem at all. Thats the point.



He's on the road to the endless money-drain chasing a fuel psi problem that he doesn't even know if it is causing him issues...when he maybe needs to take a step back and evaluate.
Can't see the forest for the trees comes to mind.
