im tring to get a reading but the lack of a gauge isnt helping.Well I dont know if this would have helped but when it was running it had a ruff idle and hesitated when accelerating. im not getting any pressure off the fuel rail besides air.

What do you mean, you're not getting any fuel pressure at the rail besides air?
Are you saying there is no fuel in the fuel rails?

hmmm... Sounds like you're picking up air between the fuel pump and the fuel rail. But if it's "compressed", then why is it not escaping through the hole where it's leaking?
Here's a silly question... Do you have fuel in the gas tank? I mean, certain tha you have fuel in there?
If you do, sounds like either you have a leak, or the fuel pump is sucking air from somewhere. But if you've ever seen the fuel pump canister, you'd understand that's damned near impossible to do, unless you're out of fuel.
Even so, I don't think the fuel pump can actually compress air too well, since it's designed to move liquids not gasses.
Start the car, get a rag, and see if you can purge that air through the schraeder valve. Even though, that air should purge by itself when the car is running, through the injectors.
Are you SURE you're working on the correct valve? Take a pic of the valve and fuel rail you're working on. Not calling you an idiot or anything like that, but I'm starting to wonder if you're not purging your AC freon.

its been 6 months and the car has no fuel pressure for shure. a friend of mine has a 93 mark that had the same problem and he says it was a computer on the drivers side of the car by the upper strut mount that had gone bad and gave it no fuel pressure. he's going to coming over to take a look and put a computer in and see if it will start. im thinking thats what it is cause of the water.

My best friends father is coming down to my house this weekend and taking a look at my car so i know its goin to be running soon because he works on fords all day, every day. the fuel pump is not running so there is no fuel pressure at all.

Thats the edis module, has nothing to do with the fuel pressure. Your pump is bad, sounds like it to me.

What he said.... he replaced the relay, and I assume checked any fuses. He gets pressure at times, but not always...
New pump time! Go with a Walbro 255, $99 and it will work well. It can be noisy, so if you dont want that, go for a Walbro 190 and you will be happy.
