| Re: How to check for a faulty FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) and replace it sweeto! Just changed mine out, it was really bad, gas was spurting out the vacuum connection. I was having trouble starting not only hot but also cold (but it was better in the winter for whatever reason). A word of caution, the car did backfire WHEN I was checking the fpr, scared the crap out of me! This car sounds like a firecracker when it backfires, once I was driving some friends to camp and I acually asked them if they had firecrackers in their luggage we didn't know what the sound was. Also, I did attempt to releive the fule pressure, and I thought I had (some gas squirted out of the pressure release valve) but when I poped off the fpr, a miniature eruption of gas occured that also caught me off guard. The car was also sputtering a lot when first started, and this seems to have helped this too. Thanks for the great post! |
