Will it not release pressure at all? Have you checked the fuel filter? Are all of th injectors firing? Try an Ohm test.

i called TPIS today and they told me to change the metering block under the afpr that i is probablysticking i never thought of that i tought that the regulator was the diaphram and the bbk housing but he said that the regulator is in the metering block so im going to return the aeromotive afpr and get a reglator from GM.

Also make sure your return line from the fuel rail to the tank is not restricted

how and why would that happen all of a sudden? and how do i check that? also do you know if thats true about the bottom square base that holds the regulator he ses that it is the regulator and it has a valve in the base is this true? he also ses that gm sells the whole bottom base and regulator together he ses you cant get them seperate if this is true then why does jegs and summit all sell these so called regulators with just the diaphram,spring and housing?
