I am fighting a fuel pressure problem and now I find myself in an odd spot... My truck is a 98 SOHC with a 99 OHV engine (truck is running on SOHC ecm). I finally have it running surprisingly well. I am ALMOST positive I need a new fuel pump which I will replace when I come back from my trip this weekend.
However, I noticed this regulator / damper that is on my fuel rail. What's the difference in them and if I wanted to replace it, which one would I use? I have a hard start problem which I know is fuel, I sprayed some brake clean in the pcv port and it started immediately! Compared to my 4-6 seconds (even more at times) of just cranking over.
I know the 99 engine did not have a return fuel like but my 98 does and it is hooked up and working on my truck. I tried to get a pressure reading on 2 pieces of equipment but the first one was leaking from both ends so I didn't start the truck, I knew it would not be accurate and the 2 one, a machine that was hooked up to the truck just sucked the gas out of my line and only read 6psi.
