Folks,

It took me a lot of time and effort to actually find and be permitted to read an 'official' Ford manual for a 2000 3.8 V6. I thought I'd share this will y'all and save a few poor soals a lot of time.

1) The 'official' manual states the rail pressure for a non-return system is 35psi with just the key on.

2) The fuel 'system' hold pressure should be 30-40 psi after 5 minutes.

3) The fuel pump pressure should not exceed 65 psi.

4) The 'fuel pump' hold pressure should be 50 psi

5) Injector resistance should be 13.5 to 19 ohms.

Enjoy

nice info!!!! where did you find this?

I went to a dealer 'other' than the one I bought the car from. The shop floorman is a friend of a friend...wink,wink. It's amzing what you can get by networking a bit.

You can get it in the shop manual, they cost a ton of money, but you can usually get them in the reference section of your local public library . ..

They come in discs, now, so maybe if you took a laptop with a CD burner . . .

Not that i would recommend copying copyrighted material -I would never do that!

Excellent point about the library. I'm gonna check that out tonight. Our library is across the street and we have an on-line account.

lol... I too would 'never' infringe on copywritten material. I do have a DVD/CD burner here with a 'lot' of miles on it
