FPR Problems need help adjusting.

[Jay99420aturbo]

Is there anyone in the puyallup or sumner \ Tacoma area that would be willing to come to Orting to give me a hand adjusting this thing.... I know very little about DSM's but i am learning.. My MOD list is in my profile... I know BIGRAND lives in the area.... My fuel pressure gauge is all haywire i think it was dropped so its not reading right.... I have no idle my car just dies i spent all weekend trying to get it adjusted right but no luck....any help would be grand.....

Try turning the fuel pressure down. Can you describe what's going on in more detail? What's the gauge reading? What FPR do you have?

You need to buy a gauge. No one can help you with out that. It would be just a guessing game. I think you have another problem because even without a regulator it should run, unless maybe the its turned up so high. What made the adjustment change?

I have a Hahn racecraft FPR... When my car starts it doesn't stay at an idle... then after about 10 or 15 mins of me feathering the gas it idles just fine... so i really can't get an accurate reading if its been running while i adjust it..

AS for my fuel pressure gauge the needle just goes back and forth rapidly no matter which way i turn the screw on the FPR

My cousin had to change the adjustment because the car would stumble at low RPM's and it smelled of gas... So he adjusted it and now i have no idle...

Are you adjusting the regulator with the vacuum line disconnected? It might be time to get a new gauge.

Ok so on the way home from work i picked up a new FPG then turned down the fuel pressure cause it was way to high... and now even after the fuel pump rewire my fuel pump pulses instead of being constant.... and my fuel pressure pulses on the gauge between 40 and 55 psi... Any suggestions???
