I"m looking for a second opinion. I have a 1988 F-350 with a fuel injected 351W. Used it around the house for a month or two with no problems. I went out to start it on a real cold day about three weeks ago and it wouldn"t start. The fuel pump in the tank would just run and run. Later that day I went out turned the key to the On position, the fuel pump ran for a second or two like it should and the truck fired right up. Since then, sometimes it will start and sometimes the pump will just run and the truck won"t start. I figured the fuel pressure regulator was getting stuck open sometimes and just bypassing all the fuel back to the tank. But everytime I hook up a pressure gauge, the trucks starts fine. I just want to make sure I"m not overlooking something or that it"s really an electrical problem somewhere. I don"t know what the spec"s are for fuel pressure, but would guess about 35 to 40 lbs.
