ok to take off fpr line?

[Daaan]

So i have had a real problem with my car starting hot. After doing alot of research and replacing parts my next step is fiddling with my fpr (fuel pressure regulator) next time my car is hot i was going to remove the vacuum line from the fpr and see if it starts 1st try. My car usually takes about 6 times to start and sounds like its only hitting 3 cylinders, it will eventually start. Is this ok to do? Im just double checking. thanks everyone.

It shouldn't cause any problems for you. Just make sure the vacuum hose is plugged somehow or it will be sucking in air.

Alright, thanks man. would it be ok to unplug it now and just run it liek that for the next day or so?

I wouldn't drive the car with it disconnected. The vacuum line is there to change the fuel pressure when it needs to rise from the base pressure. If the line is disconnected the pressure won't change at all when it is supposed to.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks again!
