Starving for fuel????
For some reason, I seem to be running lean. The car has a hesitation too until it warms up. Timing is 20 degrees advanced (That's what it likes, thats what it gets...). Totally acting like it's not getting enough fuel though. Would an Adjustable regulator help, or am I pissing in the wind? I don't wanna have to cut out my fuel pump (It may be on its way out?). Thanx for any suggestions or advice. Oh yeah, I'm using the same regulator that was on the 2.8 fuel rail..

check the pressure at the back of the fuel rail, that'll tell you if you have a pump that's on it's way out.

Yea brobert
I swapped in the 3.4 injectors and the regulator. I think it was a dying fuel pump (changed it today, much more power).
