I am havin fuel problems
I think I may have pump going bad or got stuck injectors. Does not want too start all the time. It has no get up and go like it did 2 weeks ago. Did a fuel pressure test on mine. It has 60psi when you turn it on but not start it and took 40sec to drop to 30psi. On my wifes it only drops 2psi in 40sec 60 to 58. I try to start it and it turn over and over a few times then starts and runs like poopoo. How can I tell if the injectors are stuck open? How hard is it to pull out fuel rail and injectors?
Here is a clip of my idle

Your fuel pump should supply 58 psi of fuel even at 100% injector duty cycle. Your pump is dying, IMO.

What about the fuel filter? Clogged ??

filter replaced 6months ago

There could be several contributing factors...fuel pump about to kick the bucket, clogged fuel filter, clogged fuel rails, clogged injectors, etc... I would try and do all of the easy stuff first--like a new fuel filter and a good cleaning of the fuel rails and injectors. It that doesn't solve the problem, it's the pump... At least at that point you will have the rest of your fuel system all cleaned up and ready to rock!

How do you clean the rails and injectors? Seafoam?
-
Yes, if you leave them on... But I'd go ahead and block off an afternoon and disconnect the fuel line... Replace the filter, take out the fuel rails and soak them in carb cleaner, SeaFoam, or mineral spirits. Do the same with the injectors. You can probably get away with swabbing the rails out with a pipe cleaner if some sort to clean out all of the gunk. I wouldn't try poking anything in the injectors... Just soak them and then lightly tap them around to try and break up whatever may be cloggin them. But like I said, doing all of that may not fix the problem... But it will leave you with a clean fuel system...and some stinky fingers... If anyone like Red wants to help out, it would be appreciated... :)
