RalPh Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Been there.... Done that... FPR! *Fuel Pressure Regulator* LOTS of info here about just what you describe Basically, pull the vacuum line off, sniff & inspect for liquid gasoline inside the hose (bet it's there) and you'll knowit's bad. Easy to replace, not too expensive.... GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maremrak Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Who ever needs a new FPR make sure to get the DELCO. Original is original, I would not play with anything else. We are talking about the cheap part - around $80 anyway. Just my $0.02 1960 Sedan De Ville (sold) 1970 Coupe De Ville (sold) 1987 Mazda RX-7 (sold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maremrak Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 There are two kind of FPR's depending on a fuel rail type. 1960 Sedan De Ville (sold) 1970 Coupe De Ville (sold) 1987 Mazda RX-7 (sold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiljak Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Mine was doing the same thing and the bottom o-ring from the FPR was cracked and missing a small piece. Got the seals (rebuild kit) for like $15.00 at Caddy parts counter. Check your seals first. If the bottom seal is out or leaking, fuel leaks down the tube when the car is off and causes a flood condition. On mine, if I held the gas to the floor for a a few seconds before starting, it would start right up. Also, if you still have the plastic/poly fule rail, there was a recall and GM will replace it for free (with new FPR). It can apparently leak and blow up.
