Has any one ever had a fuel pressure regulator get stuck from sitting dry? My car has been on jack stands for 4 years. and I finally got all the fuel lines back in. No fuel was going to the fuel rails. I tested the pump and its pumping just fine but no fuel seems to get past the pressure regulator. I took it apart and soaked it in gas and bench tested it with the pump and it seems to be flowing good now. I also checked the cold start valve, fuel rails, and they are not blocked. Have to put it all back in and see. Seems like it just got stuck and would not allow fuel flow. Possible? |

Drove it home from Baltimore with 90 PSI straight from the pump. It ran very poorly and scared the crap out of me as the trucks passed me on the Pennsylvania turnpike. Yeah, they can get stuck. I freed it up, but not trusting it, replaced it nonetheless. The gas gauge did the same thing. Reading down to half full. It fixed itself, but not without me having to frequently fill a car to be on the safe side with an engine that didn't want to start. Of course the do gear had come loose too...
