Usually though, you only need to adjust it when you've done intensive engine mods, like a camshaft or head porting.

It's not something that can fall out of adjustment. The diapraghm in the fuel pressure regulator can tear, though- but it can be replaced. The FPR is under the plenum (spider-looking thing on top of the motor), it's bolted to the fuel rail, looks like a silver disc with one vacuum line going to it.

Oh yeah the vacuum line can crack, too; that would screw up fuel pressure.
