fuel pressure regulator

[lewisvalver]

i took the top off the fuel pressure regulator off to see if a strut brace would fit properly(it does)but when i put the thing back together it doesnt seem right,im not sure if i put it back together properly,it doesnt rev right atall,i havent taken it out on a test because i know its not gonna run properly:(

any ideas would be much aprecciated cheers Lewis

[let_nova]

is it all sealed up ok? is it the standard fpr?

[lewisvalver]

i think its sealed up right,im just back from the gym so away to have a look at it now,it can only be that because it was fine before i took the thing apart and im really not sure if its the standard one mate

[let_nova]

is it onthe fuel rail?

[Southie]

The filter king fpr's are made to be taken apart so they can be cleaned.

[lewisvalver]

yeh its on the fuel rail and it yeh it comes apart and i gave it a clean but im not certain that the rubber seals are the right way up,it isnt starting atall now:(

[let_nova]

change them and see how you go.

[lewisvalver]

will do mate cheers

[let_nova]

no problem you get the digi?

[lewisvalver]

nope not yet mate,i will leave you some good feedback when i get it tho,i got the car started there and it cut out after about 5 seconds,starting to get annoyed lol

[16v Nova Kev]

sounds like something to do with fueling

[let_nova]

funny that lol

[lewisvalver]

yeh i think it must be,its wierd how it was fine until i took the head of the fpr and now its been dodgy since,i got it started again there and the exact same thing happend ,it cut out after 5 seconds or so

[let_nova]

[16v Nova Kev]

[lewisvalver]

nope i didnt disconnect any hose,my sister is away wi the digi cam so cant get any pictures:(if i dont crack it tonight then ill try my best for pictures tommorow,away out again to have another go,be back in 10 mins

[let_nova]

didnt have a earth on the strut tops did you?

[lewisvalver]

nope no earth,im gonna keeo trying the fpr,1 rubber ring seal,i know that goes at the bottom,theres a spacer about 15mm and theres one about 8mm and theres also 2 rubber seals with little metal bits in the centre of them,then theres 2 caps with a spring that goes between them,i must have the rubber seals the wrong way around or something,if anyone understands what i mean can you tell me what order they should be in please Lol

[lewisvalver]

thats that sorted and its going fine now:)thanks for all the help guys

[16v Nova Kev]

good stuff

[lewisvalver]

had it out today it and was totally perfect,no juddering atall,put a tenner of petrol in it and after 2 or 3 minutes it was juddering when i was coming out of junctions adn when i was goin anything between 0-30 mph,im gonna get a new fuel pressure regulator and see how it is,i think the seals are worn or something

[16v Nova Kev]

put it back to standard they fprs are pish

[lewisvalver]

yeh im gonna mate,just hope that it is this thats causing the juddering,my mate has a feeling that the nos kit might be causing it to over fuel but im not sure,ill get a new fpr and see how it goes from there.cheers

[let_nova]

fpr's are only shi.t if not set up right

[lewisvalver]

the thing is it was going the smoothest its ever been since i done the fpr last night,as soon as i put petrol in it started juddering and im sure it backfired or i went over a loose drain because i heard a loud pop from the exhaust,gave the pedestrians a good fright anyway Lol
