Big Dan Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Replaced some fuel lines today. Upon reconnecting everything, I have a no start condition, with no fuel at the rail. Everything stops at the fuel pressure regulator. If I remove the FPR, and prime the pump, fuel shoots everywhere. Replace the FPR (tested off of the rail and on the rail), I get nothing. Removing the hard line from the FPR results in, again, fuel spewing everywhere. Are there troubleshooting options or is a new one simply needed? If a new one is needed, what is recommended? There just seems to be junk everywhere on Ebay.
ghetdjc320 Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Just a couple of thoughts: either FPR regulator is bad or your fuel pump cannot maintain enough pressure to open the regulator. Or, the fuel lines are reversed - added
Ωhm Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Maybe fuel line got crossed over somehow. If engine ran before this, it should run after doing this.
JMO413 Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Not sure if I am reading your post correctly but I think you have the fuel lines reversed. Pressure should come in the back of the rail and return out the regulator at the front.

Big Dan Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 So, to clear this up for future readers - took the FPR out of my parts jeep and it still didn't work. At that point, I retraced what I did and had the "doh!" moment.Either way, all is good now. As always, thanks for the assistance. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
