Some of the Fuel Pressure Relief/Overflow Valves have a plastic piece insid that warps or falls apart reducing the valves ability to hold fuel supply pressure inside of the Fuel Injection Pump Housing. The effect is noticed more at idle.
I've been meaning to tackle the lift pump for awhile. Where is the pressure relief valve?
