Fuel pump question

Hello.
My 89 Toyota Camry has fuel injection and I took the gas line off after the filter(Which I just changed) and turned the car over. Gas is barely comming out of the filter. There supposed to have like 70lbs of pressure, Right?
It looks like about 5lbs right now. HG

Not sure where or how Japanese cars work, but american cars have a fuel rail bleed line to bleed the air out, I`m sure your car has something similair, on american cars, it looks like a valve stem on the fuel rail with a cap on it.

pump pressure

Depending on model of car. Pump pressure shoud be between 43 and 61 psi.

There is a bag filter in most cars. Located in the fuel tank. Yours may be dirty.
