I've been having problems with knock recently and I checked my fuel pump pressure (line- off) to ensure I'm at 42-43 and found a problem.
Upon start up (whether cold start up or starting again after I've taken it out for a spin) if I check my fuel pressure it reads 42-43 line off. As I let it idle (again hot or cold), the pressure would slowly drop to under 40 and driving around I would get knock.
At this point (after the slow drop) if I readjust the the line-off pressure to 42-43 and take it out again I will have little knock and some small retard (<2), but when I cut the car off then start it up again my line-off pressure idling will be at 45.
Is this the kind of behavior that occurs when your FP is dying? Could I have a leak somewhere?
Thanks for the help,
