CB,

Thanks. I was able to get back under the car and rub enough dirt off it and found that it is a USA made Carter. I remember putting it under there 9 years or so ago. I called the parts house I got it from to see what the warranty was on it- just a one year. Funny thing is, they have it listed as being for a V8 ford, no Volvo listing... So I am not sure how they sold it to me if its not even for a Volvo Application...

it pumps some serious fuel! since I don't have the popper fittings to do a full on CIS fuel test, I deadheaded my tester before the Fuel filter and took a reading- IT NEARLY BENT THE NEEDLE! it maxed out over 100PSI. I was trying to confirm what I had a mechanic do 2 weeks ago. There is another post about it- but he took a reading at the Cold start injector where the fuel pressure pegged at 70Psi then He told me it dropped to ZERO immediately... Not exactly the results I found.

My question to you (and everyone else) is:
if the line pressure maxed at 100, then fell quickly (1 min or so) to a fairly stable 70PSI for 15 min or so, then gradually fell to 30PSI- would that tell us anything?
