    12.5 would be on the lean side. Have you checked fuel pressure woth a gauge?

    Also ignition advance is 18.5 degrees, that seems high to me but I don't know what it should be at idle.

    I believe 35psi is low. Don't have access to a FSM right now. 38 to 44psi is spec. i think.

    32-38psi is spec

    I was wondering if anyone know what the throttle position is suppose to read at idle and WOT, with my scanner hooked up in reading 11% at idle and only 76% at WOT. I know I replaced the throttle position sensor but this seems off

    I believe this spec is actually correct. I have to find the sheet that says so though...

    From: FSM says 38-44 psi with ignition on, 33-38 psi at idle, and 38-44 psi with the vacuum sensing hose to the regulator disconnected.

    Our 3.4v6 doesn't have vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator.

    My $Free.50 version only had torque specs. Other forum says:

    "I believe factory specs are 38-42psi as measured on the fuel rail at the front of the motor. "

    Darn late to the party haha. I only have AllData Pro access at my local college - I usually just park in their parking lot and get what I need to get.

    The line runs to the intake tube before throttle body. No vacuum to it.
