ya im pretty sure its on the fuel rail. Its an adjustable regulator i tried adjusting today but it didnt work. I notice there is 2 alan key screws, i tried adjusting one and fuel started squirtin out lol so i tightened it back up so it wouldnt squirt out so i dont think its adjustable. Not sure what to do with that :S

Also tried all day to get my oil pressure guage to work(after market auto meter) ground seems to be ok, new sending unit, and also the sending is a different one than my old one but catalogue says both work for my car. So i dunno light works as well, it just reads at full? like maxed out. No way thats correct...and my stock one doesnt work cant find the old guage wire wasnt there when i got the car. unless its hooked up to something else, im stumped..stupid car

****ttt..Just found another problem with my car. Pretty sure the head gaskets are gone or the heads are cracked. My exhaust is pourring out mmore than usual white smoke, and liquid is dripping out the tail pipes, dont think it is condesation seems to smell weird. I think it may be antifreeze. its real weird when i bought the car i test drove it it ran fine, didnt have any smoke at all. And i didnt even drive it hard yet, havent even gone past 4grand on a shift. Oh well its too bad. I dont even know what im gona do, I gouess I g2 get it repaired. But im sure ill find something else is bad in the engine when I tear it apart. If i do. I think this is gona be a long winter..

Red wire yellow tracer is for oil sending unit.

Thanks man. Hey about the grounds, all my grounds and power(ign) for my auto meter tack, water pressure and oil guage are all connected together(grounds seperate)(ign's seperate). Um thing is my tack and water pressure guage all work fine, except the oil is just pegged to max when i turn car on. Would the ground wire for the oil guage have to be hooked up seperately? I just think the ground would be fine since the tack and water guage all work correctly, doesnt make sense the oil guage doesnt work. Unless my oil guage is malfunctioning. And if the sender unit wire was not working correctly the guage would read nothing am I correct?

Hey did a compression check on my engine today here are the numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

dry - 125 130 130 130 125 135 125 130 PSI

wet- 150 155 150 145 150 160 145 145 PSI

All around is this a good compression test? as far as my haynes manual goes its within range, but doesnt say if its bad. I hear theres allways a jump in psi with the wet test but it also could mean your piston rings are gone. Not sure though did this test cuz i cant seem to figure out the KOEO KOER test my CEL just stays on never blinks or anything.

^^^ the numbers at the top of the chart are cylinder numbers 1-8

You have a electrical oil gauge? If sending unit wire is grounded it will peg the gauge. Take sending unit wie off, does gauge go to zero?
