edge juice low fuel pressure? need help ASAP

Just installed edge juice with attitude 2001 auto and my fuel pressure at idle is 11 and when i get into boost it goes down to 3 and then sometimes 2 if i put it on stock it takes it longer to get to 3psi for fuel pressure. Any ideas?
Thanks,
TC

Please fill in your signature so we can all see exactly what you are running. You may need a new pump, try to change your fuel filter first though.

if it was a new stock pump, it probably failed again, although I believe even stock pumps have a yr warranty, to my knowledege I can't see how you voided the warranty??? installing J/A should not have anything to do with the LP warranty,.
BTW it only takes one tank of fuel to plug a filter, and the first step in diagnoising any low pressure issue is to replace the fuel filter FIRST. replacing the filter last summer is all the more reason to replace it again!

Thumbs up

One thing you have to research and remember is that the VP24 has the worst lift pump EVER. I was droping fuel psi to 0 when the drag box was untapped. Basically running as a EZ. Get a air dog 150 or the new 165 and never have to worry bout losing fuel psi or a VP unless its weak. With what's in my sig running 5x5 I can hold to the floor till it runs out of gear and never drop below 15. Make the investment and save your self alot of headaches.

That's right about what I'm running for pressures. A bit low at WOT, but I wouldn't be too worried...

I agree with olddodgeowner. Keep an eye on it for sure though. Once psi drops below 8psi, your vp can get damaged from starving very quickly.

If the new pump starts goin out again, GET a FASS or Airdog. They both have great reps and offer piece of mind thats unbeatable in my book.

Im at 21psi idle, 18 cruising, 13 WOT. good investment all around.
Hope this helps.

You need to run an airdog or fass period.
