Default Fuel pressure at idle?

I was test driving a few Jeeps and noticed one at idle had 0(or slightly right above) fuel pressure. Is this normal? What does everyones Jeep have for fuel pressure at idle?

Pretty sure spec is just above 15 psi at idle. The one you drove very well could have a bad sensor too.

You're confusing the oil pressure with fuel pressure.

^^ agreed. fuel pressure would need to be read with a gauge on the schrader on the fuel rail. fuel pressure on lates is 49 +/- 5psi. Oil pressure should be between 20 and 50 depending on rpm.
