Didn't know..... But alright. What's it mean if the pressure builds up after shutoff. And about 10 minutes.

That the fuel in the line is heating up and expanding, but not leaking anywhere.

Go the full 30 minutes.

It's still plugged in so I will. So it's fine that it was at 34? Why'd it drop when I hit the gas?

Because the pressure dropped momentarily as the injectors opened to supply more gas as was requested?

Alright.. So I'm guessing I'm good on the fuel system side.

Just wanna know if everything is good and doing what it's supposed to do. Would really like to move onto my next attempt at figuring out my issue. So a straight "yes, it's all good" or "no, there is an issue" would do just fine.
