Testing FPR

Anybody got a good way to test a fuel pressure regulator? Mine seems to have bitten the dust, but WinALDL doesn't show a MALF code.
Help!!!
Thanks.

Yeah FPR's don't really die its just a spring that limits the amount of fuel. Check your return line and feed line and make sure they're clear and ok. What makes you think its bad?

A bad regulator won't throw a code either. You could have a damaged or worn out diaphram but that is about it really. What symptoms are you getting that make you think it is a regulator problem.
