There is a hose going over top of your brake reservoir that has 2 hoses going into it, one is going to the intake and the other is on the fuel pressure regulator.. my question is, where do the hoses terminate from the other end..?? Right now mine has one hose going from the intake to the FPR and I don’t think that’s right

@Bigbeanbird The FPR solenoid. Most people remove them.

Thank you.. so FPR solenoid.. why take it off and what purpose does it serve..?? If you take it off do you just connect a hose from the intake mani to the FPR..??

TBH, I've not confirmed this behavior by testing, but I think the FPR solenoid is usually pass through - unless cranking to start. Basically it raises the fuel pressure slightly when cranking.

Thanks.., so this has nothing to do with smog requirements,?(i hope not living in California).. and a tube between the intake mani and the FPR would suffice and not interfere with other systems..??
