Fuel Pressure Solenoid??? HELP!!!

[Romogst]

I have my CEL on and went to Autozone and got this code: P1105 which i found out to be Fuel Pressure Solenoid. Is it safe to drive my car like that?? How much is it to replace and how much money would cost me? Anyone knows where this solenoid is located at? Can i fix this problem my self? Thanks.

Safe? Probably? It's supposed to tweak the fuel pressure during warm starts to make the car idle better.

Easy to replace. Mine's the solenoid on the firewall closest to the driver's side of the car.

I drove around for a couple months with this check engine code before I finally replaced the darn thing, so yeah, you can most likely drive it. As long as the car starts, I don't think it will give you any trouble, since that's the only time it comes into play.

Definitely a piece of cake to replace. I wish I had done it myself instead of paying the dealer to pull the code and then fix it. Just like the previous post says, it's on the firewall on the driver's side, behind or next to the brake fluid reservoir, I think.

Cost? One post on here said $29. My invoice said $80.

If you want to take it out of the loop, you can consult this page, which shows how to remove all of the emissions controls. Just keep the solenoid plugged in, though.

actually it's for cold starts. It doesn't allow vacumme to get to the FPR so it basicly gives more fuel on a cold start. You can run without it. Just hook the FPR line direct to the manifold port. Only thing you will notice is that you have to crank the car a few more times to get it to start when it's cold.
