    Low fuel pressure

    Will the ECU compensate for a lower fuel pressure than spec (58psi)?

    What kind of symptoms would you notice with a slightly too low fuel pressure (46-50 psi)?

    u will have to increase some fuel. other than that i have read about quite a few people running around those pressures. i know a stock ls will run as low a 40 psi without so much as setting a code or giving a major driveability symptom.

    you will see your ecm adding a lot of fuel to the map to get the ltfts correct. If this is a permanent situation you need to tune your VE table to match the new fuel curve w/ the lowered pressure.

    Normally you would adjust your injector flow rate to compensate for the change.
