This an '85 Mustang with a 3.8 L v-6? Thought they only had the carbureted 4 cylinder , and a 302 v-8, possibly throttle body injected?

Check air delivery system, check timing, any trouble codes?

SOURCE: 2000 kia sportage trouble code po171 once in

I have 2005 Kia Sportage with a check engine light. No other symptoms. I was told by Kia and Local mechanic that it is the fuel injectors. Error Code states that Fuel injectors are running lean. Put Master airflow- no change. Ran engine test with propane to run rich and trim never changed from 15. Car runs great. Kia dealer said that this is because we use Ethel in gas that it effects the alumium fuel rail delivery to the injectors and that it is necessary to change all of them .Kia Dealer wants $1,000.00 deposit to place order 6 fuel injectors from Kia. (Has anyone heard of that?)Also put fuel injector cleaner in tank.Does anyone have any suggestions before I spend over $1,000.00 to replace all 6 injectors or possible idea of what could be wrong?

I have a 1996 Chevy Silverado c3500 with 7.4 it is running -18 long term fuel trim both banks and -8 short term both banks goes to -25 it and-10 st when rpm increases to 3000 possibly causes

o2 sensors bad,
-5 is par,
-25 means super rich and removing this much fuel.

are you sure 55psi is right for all states>?
keyon 3 times pressue
cranking pressure if engine dead.
idle PSI pressure will be lowest due to huge plenum vacuum below TV.
and gunning engine hard will make PSI RISE to a;most key on PSI

the FPR had 4 tests not just 1.

exhaust leaks near B1s1 B2S1 will make huge rich running engine,.

Hi,
I think you are on the right track. With the engine off remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and see if there is fuel in the vacuum hose or fuel is leaking from the fuel pressure regulator vacuum nipple,if so replace the regulator,check to make sure that the engine oil is not contaminated by fuel if so,change the oil and filter. Good Luck!

I changed the plugs & cap, rotor, wires ,coil & fuel filter. the motor is still running rough.

If there's black smoke coming out of the tail pipe check M.A.P sensor for good vacum and coolant temp. sensor, both will work like a choke, if that check's out it 's going to be a bad fuel line leaking to the injector's or a fuel regulator, both sit under the in take, getting to much fuel will make it run like it need's a tune up.
