Measure with the Key On Engine Off with the fuel pump commanded ON.

Vin (V,T,U)
Fuel Pressure (gasoline) 55-62 psi

Vin (Z)
Fuel Pressure (ethanol) 48-54 psi

These specifications are taken from the Fuel System Diagnosis. For complete testing of fuel pressures and volume see Fuel System Diagnosis, See: Powertrain Management\Computers and Control Systems\Testing and Inspection

hmmmmm. 58 lbs. thats good enough to start it. there is no toggle for the injectors. i would check the crank sensor as it controls the injectors being toggled.
