I still have a slow pressure leak (89). Primes to 42psi, stops at 38, and drops slowly before ignition is on.

I tried the technique of clamping send / return lines to isolate where the leak is coming from, but no configuration of clamps held the pressure. I believe if pressure holds when you clamp the send line, the pump is bad. If pressure holds when you clamp the return line, the regulator is bad. And if you clamp both lines and still have a leak, then an injector is leaking.

Well, no matter what we clamped, it leaked. I have already installed a new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator, and my injectors show health Ohm resistance (though I know this means that they can still be leaking).

Video is us crimping the send line, and as you can see when we un-crimp it the pressure plummets. Same outcome if the return line is crimped in addition to the send line.

I tried to delete my fuel pulsator incase it was shot but it didn’t change anything. Please help

1989. Thought my new fuel pressure regulator was bad (pressure leak and vacuum line smelled like gas) so I unplugged the vacuum line and popped my psi gauge on. I understand it runs with higher rail pressure since the vacuum line pushes fuel into…the injectors?

But, should the PSI be jittering like this? I can feel the hose pulse with the inconsistent pressure. It primes to 42 psi as usual and holds for a few minutes (has a small leak), but it still takes like 5 seconds to turn over which I think might be a separate issue. Thoughts?

An article came out on Friday claiming that the most recent tuition increase will help support experiences like graduate student stipends, which people like myself depend on.

At least for the school of education, funding has been stagnant since before I joined the program, and I am being paid and will be paid the same amount in 2027 as I was in 2024.

This graduate student stipend flatline has continued even after Michael Rao’s 9% salary increase in September 2025 (because he deserves an $895,000 base salary). This was after a 16% raise in 2024. The rate of change of the graduate student stipend from at least 2022 to 2027 has been 0% which means that it stretches even less considering cost of living inflation.

Had to share this absolute frustration.
