Re: fuel pressure problems

Well per your discription some thing is wrong. I would start over and follow the instructions. It should not be leaking fuel. I have had the hypertech AFPR for years with no problems & my FP gage works.

Re: fuel pressure problems

Does fuel leak out the vacuum line connection when vac line is removed? If so, the diaphram is reptured and will have to be replaced.

Re: fuel pressure problems

Fuel should not be coming out of the vacume port off the pressure regulator. Make sure you don't over tighten the AFPR cap, your only supposed to use 13inch/lbs of torque...I learned the hard way! There is a proper sequence to tighten the AFPR cap, it should be in any service manual and I'm certain there's a thread on this site.
