Re: Possible Fuel pump regulator

I'm having the exact same problem with mine. I haven't had time to go through the fuel system and clean everything out but I'll give you the same advice others told me.

One suggestion was rust in the gas tank. Since you replaced the fuel pump id assume you didn't notice alot of rust deposits in the tank. Or rust clogging the fuel filter or fuel injectors.

Another suggestion was a bad FPR.

And finally someone also said it might be a vacuum leak.

I'd put my money on the FPR since it seems to be the only remaining suspect.
