The fuel pressure for a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac is typically between 35-50 psi. This is controlled by the fuel pressure regulator, which ensures that the pressure remains constant relative to intake pressure. If the regulator malfunctions, the fuel pressure will not be controlled, and the engine may not run optimally.
If you need to check the fuel pressure, you can buy a fuel pressure gauge that fits the schrader valve on the fuel rail for about $40. This will allow you to monitor the pressure and ensure it is within the recommended range.
It’s important to maintain the proper fuel pressure to ensure that the injectors operate properly and the engine runs efficiently. If you suspect any issues with the fuel pressure, it’s advisable to have it checked and, if necessary, have the fuel pressure sensor or regulator replaced.
If you have any further questions about the fuel system of your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, feel free to ask!

How much psi does a Ford Explorer need?
The App / manual / door sticker all say the psi should be 33.
What is the ideal fuel pressure?
58 psi is the normal pressure LS engines operate at, but many injectors are rated at 43.5. This will really only matter if you are looking to max out your fuel system. Most pumps flow more at 43psi than they do at 58psi. Lowering pressure will reduce the output of your injectors.
What is the fuel pressure for a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
The fuel pressure just before the fuel rail, gauge hooked directly to fuel line is 65psi w/ pump running and holds 60psi when pump off. Fuel pressure after fuel rail where fitting for taking fuel pressure is 40psi running w/ slight fluctuation. The specification I found is KOEO 60psi to 65psi.
What is poor fuel pressure?
Generally speaking, low fuel pressure means you don’t have enough fuel getting to the engine, and/or you have too much air coming in. The fuel-to-air intake ratio is thrown off and it will cause engine performance issues. You may have trouble getting the car started at all when the fuel pressure is too low.
Where is the fuel pressure regulator on a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
The fuel pressure regulator is attached to the fuel pump in the fuel pump module located in the fuel tank.
How much fuel pressure should a 2000 Ford Explorer have?
Yes that is the correct fuel pressure. spec is 55-65 psi. It should generally go up when you remove the vacuum line from the regulator by 5-8 psi. You may need a new one.
What PSI should fuel rail pressure be?
No matter what operating condition (short of demanding more fuel than the pump can supply), pressure in the rail will always be 58psi (or pretty close). When idling at 20 inHg, this means effective pressure will rise to 68psi because the vacuum in the manifold is adding 10psi to the rails 58psi.
What is low fuel rail pressure?
Generally speaking, low fuel pressure means you don’t have enough fuel getting to the engine, and/or you have too much air coming in. The fuel-to-air intake ratio is thrown off and it will cause engine performance issues. You may have trouble getting the car started at all when the fuel pressure is too low.
What is good fuel pressure at idle?
with the vacuum line hooked up, it drops fuel pressure at idle. with no vacuum line hooked up, it should sit right around 3bar (or ~ 44psi +-).
What is the common rail pressure at idle?
With the ignition on and the engine off, the sensor output is at 0.5 V, corresponding to a rail pressure of 0 bar. As the engine cranks the sensor output rises rapidly to about 1.3 V, indicating the idle operating rail pressure of around 280 to 320 bar.
