FPR problem

So it seems like me fuel pressure regulator is clogged or something, i just got done with a rebiuld so it did sit for a little while. when i tried to start it the wide band was showing really lean and well there wasnt any fuel past the point of the regulator... so is there a way to clean them or anything like that?

if it's lean and nothing is moving past the fuel pressure regulator to the return line then your fuel pump is dead or fuel filter clogged.

that or you're testing everything wrong and the lines are simply reverse to the rats nest hard lines.

no fuel coming out of the regulator + really lean = clogged filter(S), bad/weak fuel pump.

the regulator works by RESTRICTING the flow, so no fuel SHOULD be high pressure, which SHOULD be rich, unless there isn't enough fuel getting to the regulator

alot of pressure or alot of volume? most people confuse the 2. you can have lots of volume and no pressure which would = what you may be experiencing. a fuel pump at 5 volts will still put out fuel like a garden hose but probably not be very much pressure. also on that note, if you do have pressure and volume, you probably have the lines reversed.

You most likely have the fuel lines on backwards.
