Nissan Repair: 1995 pickup, fuel pressure gauge, fuel pressure regulator
QuestionI just purchased the truck and the first tank of gas only got about 16 mpg. The truck has a clean air filter, new plugs and wires, runs and starts fine. I put injector cleaner in it, but it has only gone through a quarter tank. I would appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you, Jake.
AnswerJake,
I would say you need to check the fuel pressure regulator since that is the prime cause of excess fuel consumption. Get a fuel pressure gauge and screw it onto the fuel rail and measure the fuel pressure and compare it to the factory specifications. Get a Haynes Manual for the correct pressure.
