Re: fuel flowing from air intake
It's very possible there are other fuel regulators that might meet the specs, Just thinking(:

Re: fuel flowing from air intake
Did you just change out the regulator or was there something else you had to do to complete the repair?

Re: fuel flowing from air intake
It actually happened to the previous owner of my car before he shipped the car but yes I think they put a used regulator in place of the leaking one. You should do an oil change afterwards too, just in case any gas got in the oil.

Re: fuel flowing from air intake
Others her have cautioned against cranking the engine due to likely damage by hydrolocking
After you replace the FPR, change the oil as there's likely fuel in the oil pan.

Re: fuel flowing from air intake
On my NO START cars, on my red car I got battery charged up in the car for 24 hrs, then I jump in with the key, it cranks over 1-2 turns and fires right up ! But after 10 seconds it dies. This was after sitting for 6 months.
So then I try again, all dead, then I press that little button on ignition switch...the key release button, and then the starter connects and cranks over again. But nothing fires. So I now learning the key switch release button has to be wiggled at same time as turning key in order to get started to engage. But engine still won't fire again. Anyone else experience this ? Also the speedometer /gas gauge not lighting , but as the key turns there is a quick flash of the fuel gauge for 1 second. Should I be changing out the ignition switch before I go any further in trying to start this beast ? Is that a hard job ? Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
