				It could.
 
 
Get under there and look for the arrow.
 
Do you have a gauge on there to verify you're losing pressure? _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

				Is your RS a TPI car or TBI?
 
 
 
If it's TBI you should be around 12psi and there is no pressure port.
 
 
If it's TPI you should be around 40-43 engine running vacuum off regulator. There is a pressure port. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

				| I'd throw another one on it just to be sure. Even if it isn't backwards, it could still just be clogged. |

				25 pSI is way to low.  Put another filter on there just to be sure.  But could be your pump is on its way out _________________ kurfbird
