Fuel Pressure regulator

Do fuel pressure regulators go bad? And if so how often, and is it a cheap part to replace?

I am sure they go bad, there is a way to test them if you have a pressure gage...I believe that the idle pressure is regulated to somewhere in the 25-30 PSI range, then it goes up as RPMs increase to about 35.


I have an extra one I would sell you if yours is bad..

They *can* go bad, but they rarely do - I don't think I've ever seen a bad one on the jillions of 2nd gens I've worked on.

That said, if it is bad, there's a jillion used ones out there.

Hey, this is post #666 - hehe!
