Fiesta Turbo standard fuel pressure
Set my fuel pressure today to match what the old Haynes says - 2.5 bar at idle with the vacuum pipe disconnected and the pipe blocked off.
When I reconnected the vacuum line on the regulator the pressure actually went down a bit (car idling) when revved it does pick up a bit as it should but doesn't seem to change that much.
Messed with it because I was fairly sure the car was lean, think i've made it worse.
Does 2.5 at idle with that pipe off sound too low? Baring it mind it's more like 2 bar with the pipe back on it?
Now the car is missing all the time when revved and spluttering and generally all over the shop so it's obviously not right.

Re: Fiesta Turbo standard fuel pressure
I think it runs lean.Mine is set up at 3 bar with the vacuum hose connected,whch goes at 3.5 if you disconnect it.Try this and then I would also suggest a CO2 check with the appropriate equipment at a garage,if you have not a wideband lamda.
