    I recently bought a $50 fuel pressure gauge mostly because it would be a good thing to know, and easy to check when you have issues. I checked mine at 56 psi, so now I know what it should be when I need to check it.

    Problems seems to start to resolve. I got the car running byt with out the maf hooked, i cant get it chargin tho. I have lc9 engine with 105A truck alternator with two wires,Grey and Brown. I also connected my fan posite wires straight to alternator and wondering if thats not a good idea and have to remove them or not?

    No, the fan or anything else should not be connected to the alternator positive. The fan needs a relay connected to a separate main battery feed. On my LS I use a relay triggered on with a negative signal from the PCM, and the fan powered by the 30 amp contact directly fed off the main battery feed circuit.

    Yes i have the fans releys powered from the alternator positive, sorry for the wrong impression but im gonna move them from the alternator. Also gonna try if the alternator starts to charge if i feed 12v to the Grey wire and so on.

    Charging problems are gone finally! The alternator was bad even it was new one. I wired thru the L terminal thru alternator lamp. Also gonna wire the sense terminal to key on source when doing the final wiring. I have not enougf voltage in my wiring harness tho and need to use other methods to get the alt chargin..its now hooked straight to battery and thru alt light. I have only about 3-5v in the alternator plug
