replaced the fpr on saturday and everything is just like new!!! now if i was smart i would have taken pictures of my process. the whole thing took about 3 hours after i got everything i needed. the hardest part was disconnecting the fuel lines. whoever designs engine compartments for gm should have to work on them. not too much room back there. all in all, i figure i saved at least 300 by doing myself. thanks for the help kyle!

 

Glad you got it fixed Jake! I agree that the fuel lines can be difficult, but sometimes that is just the way things go.

 

The fuel Pressure Regulator is under the upper intake. when you get the upper intake off youll see the part that has the six fuel lines coming out of, on the back of that is the Fuel PressureRegulator.

 

glad to hear that fpr fixes this. I have same problem. but also, strangely, I DO NOT ANY LONGER get my normal 2-second fuel pump up? has anyone had the 2-second prime STOP working, but the car still starts and runs normally, after a hard start?

I am concerned that somehow the PCM is NOT calling for the 2-second pump run but after cranking the pump does get the run signal.

any ideas? I will start looking for the FPR soon. Yes, I have a gage and will check the press first.
