EXCELLENT CHANNEL! Excellent info, especially for us non mechanics who are trying to diagnose and fix our cars when a REAL mechanic/garage can't! Priceless! Thank you! If anyone wants to comment...I just had the fuel pump replaced when it failed and left me sitting, mid drive. But when I got my 03 Buick Rendezvous back from the shop, it now just cuts out while driving. (Like it's not getting gas) If I let off the gas when it starts to happen, many times it will recover without shutting off. If I'm going up a hill and I continue to try to get up the hill by lightly giving gas as its slowing down, it WILL backfire. I returned it to the garage because interior lights were coming on and off while driving all the while this continued, thinking maybe they crossed the wires on the fuel pump upon installation. (Now these symptoms only happen AFTER it is warmed up. Never happens cold. Well the mechanic said it was the wiring harness and apparently replaced that. They said it was fixed (no charge 🙂) Picked it back up and same symptoms continue. Spitting sputtering cutting out and shutting off. (Not the battery, but the engine , losing power steering and brakes if I can't get it to "recover" by fanning the gas, or throwing it into neutral and revving.) Now I'm thinking gas pressure sensor? Any comments greatly appreciated!! Thanks yall, from this southern girl to....you? Lol) I should add recently before this I had a different shop remove my catalytic convertor (without my permission!) When I took it in to have 02 sensors replaced. A week after that, the fuel pump went up and when I got it out of the garage, that's when these new symptoms appeared. The adventure continues....🥴
Bingo! 2005 Ford Explorer V6 4.0L. Running fine one day and wouldn't stay running the next. Disco'd the MAF sensor (after cleaning it failed) and it started right up. R2'd and now it runs even smoother than before. Thanks!
I stumbled on this today and every sign matches my car🤣😭 for the past 3 months I've seen the gas station more than my parents 😅. I'm away from my car now but when I'm back I'll come back to this video if it works out to thank you. All the symptoms starting from poor fuel milage match my symptoms. By the way its a 4afe engine on an ae 110 1998 corolla
You left out an important one, when the regulator fails to go closed all the way it fails to maintain higher pressure during heavier fuel demand under load, resulting in loss of power.
My Malibu "stutters" in acceleration. The only code throwing was the fuel pump regulator sensor, but that doesnt match my only symptom. I have 0 other symptoms other than the stutter and code. If I let off acceleration, it stops. It stutters again as I accelerate 50% of the time, until I reach a steady 60-80 mph and then it's smooth as silk. No stutters on down shifts. Anyone? 2015 Chevy Malibu ltz turbo
Well explains why I have put 2 sets of plugs and wires in my truck in the past 6 months. Don’t have to worry abt the cats tho. They’re in some junk yard somewhere😂 but I really appreciate this video tho. Wish I knew about this possible problem sooner!!
Thank you so much, with a broken OBD plug, I couldn’t even be steered in the right direction, I knew it was fuel related when I smelled fuel heavy, truck just started doing this a week ago occasionally, but now it’s full blown misfire and puffing some smoke
My sisters 08 Avalon had hard starting. TK changed the fuel pump...why they never replaced the FPR on the side of the pump...beats me. TK said it's not the FPR. Not getting anywhere with TK, I TH-camd and changed it myself....not that hard. I replaced the FPR..problem solved. Thanks to all those TH-camrs out there !!!
Did you also smell gas? I just bought an 03 and it starts hard, idles rough if not give gas for a minute, then also smell of gas for about 30 seconds after car starts. Also feel strange vibrations while at idle.
@@fakejeepman06 I would suggest changing the plugs..wires and all the coil packs. Go on Amazon and you can buy everything as a kit. I had the same issue,with my 02 4runner...did what I mentioned...problem solved.
Finally someone gives a clear and specific explanation without me needing a mechanic dictionary or wanting to fist bump them on the snoot. Sweet video my dude. Eta: And that guy sitting in his car, slumped on the steering wheel, looking fucking ended? I have never related more.
Just don't forget "newer" vehicles, I'd reckon in the early 2000's and up range may have an integrated fuel pressure reg in the pump itself, and not external, which is the case for the 05 Altima I'm working on. Good luck!
@@CymatixOne I appreciate the follow up and the heads up! I'll let you know tomorrow when my replacement shows up. I swapped a 2001 Tacoma 3.4 litre motor into a 1993 Toyota pickup. This one has the independent fuel regulator mounted on the back of the fuel rail.
This video helped me very much is what I needed the information I was looking for on my 2002 Mitsubishi eclipse GT that's having a problem running it's not running right after I replaced the spark plugs and wires and changed the distributor Cap and still the same I never thought to look at the fuel regulator

Sounds like my problem mine still misfires after everything I've done to it....... but my computer does not pick up codes at all, and I had a melted ignition coil and replaced all throttle bottle cleaned, injectors cleaned and new spark plugs still having a misfire mechanics can't figure it out I can't figure out, toyota is trying to buy my rav4 for 8,000 USA dollars in a check
@@easyautofixI need help. I have a 2003 Hyundai accent. I have to use starting fluid once or twice a week to start my car but after it starts runs great until the next time I have to use starting fluid. Unfortunately it is happening more often. I change the fuel pump and still it is doing the same thing. Any help
ok, I pulled my fuel lines off of the manifold behind the throttle body. Took carburetor cleaner, filled up the two holes. They filled right up. Came back 3 hours later, and the inlet side was empty. Evaporated I asked myself? Put more in, but it would not fill up the hole. Put the fuel lines back, and "Wham!" Truck started, ran good. I did not have to remove intake manifold.
Would this have anything to do with cold air temperatures? Summer it doesn't give a p0171, but winter it does if I don't let it warm up, and now with this arctic outbreak it kicked an engine light on again.
I have a 99 Grand Marquis. It appears that there’s a massive coolant leak right under the fuel pressure regulator. I fill the coolant reservoir, and it empties almost immediately while running. I wish there was an option to add photos. But is this a possibility, or is it likely to be something underneath?
My frontier 2002 v6 would throw random misfires, or cylinder 6 always misfired. I had a strong smell in the cabin. My truck had horrible gas mileage. My truck would start in the morning or if it was sitting for a while with with no issues, but if was to drive it for the day the 2nd time I started it, the gas odor seeped in and it was definitely a hard start where the engine would just spin a few seconds.
I have a 2005 Prado with a 1kd engine. Once a week when driving at low speeds it loses engine power, followed by rough idling. My mechanic thinks I need to replace the fuel pressure regulator, but the only symptom is the loss of power. When you shut down the car for 10mins, everything goes back to normal and you drive as fast or slow as you wish. I am so confused by this
I've got 48 lbs of fuel pressure. It increases some on the guage when you press the acclerator. On cold starts it cranks right up and idels fine. Short one mile trip to grocery store, cut it off, shop for 15-30 minutes and it wont crank unless you press accelerator to floor. When it does crank it runs rough for about a minute or less but when I try to take off it stalls and goes dead sometimes leaving in middle of intersection!!! What's the problem? Coming home finally I stomped it and ran up to 90 miles an hour from about 50-55 mph. Runs famously. No hesitation no nothing. Performs great. Pull into yard, cut it off wait a few seconds then try to crank and it wont start again unless I put it on the floor. Pump? Fuel filter? Pressure regulator? I'm afraid to go anywhere now, especially the wife. We're both 74 and only vehicle??? Note:Distributor cap rotor button, plugs and wires changed less than 10000 miles ago!
last year i had a bad electric fuel pump so i installed a new one in the gas tank, after one year it got noisy, so again i put in a new one after 3 days it also got noisy, one time the car did not start, after a few seconds it started rough with low power then it was OK, could it be the fuel pressure regulator .. any help appreciated
Ford escort wagon I had to rebuild because regulator went bad over flowed engine with gas and lady was holding it to the floor to keep it running untill it was overcome with gas and spun 3 rod bearings then filled half the block with gas
I replaced my IAC because it was throwing a P0505 code. I have a high idle still, the catalyst converter was going red we took it off clean it out, we cleaned out the throttle body. And I'm still having a high idle. It's still throwing the same code and also a code for the fuel pressure regulator circuit issue. What's your suggestion to check next I haven't noticed overheating but we don't know if the thermostat is bad it has water and there's no leaks. But we can't figure out the high idle problem and why it's still throwing the p 0 505 code I took it to two different places and they cleared that code just for it to keep coming back what could that be? What other things could I do to help the high idling. 2004 jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0
I guess you checked for vacuum leaks. Anyway my high idle was caused by the power steering pump. There's a sensor that increases idle when the wheels are fully turned. So l just unplugged it - problem solved.
I experience bucking in my 96 jeep grand cherokee at around 1800 rpm at around 55mph with no check engine light with all spark plug, wires and roter button replaced. Bear in mind no check engine light EDIT-- problem has been solved camshaft position sensor and scan code came up for crankshaft sensor even with no engine light
@@ken-dt1zp yes I did surprisingly it wasn't the part that the scanner picked up... the scanner picked up a crankshaft position sensor code.... I went and pulled one and a camshaft position sensor located underneath where all the spark plug wires go together... turns out my bucking problem was solved just by changing camshaft position sensor and not the crankshaft the problem quit before the crankshaft sensor was touched...
Hey, just wanted to share the Gospel that all men need, the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) this means we all deserve death and separation from a perfect and holy God. But God did not leave us for dead, He sent His only begotten Son to die in yours and my place, so that anyone who believes in Him and repents of sin will be saved from separation from God, and have eternal life! I urge you please put your faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him, He promises to save all who cry out to Him and have a humble heart. We arent guaranteed another day so we must repent of sin and seek Him today while He may be found!
@@daltoncorzine2760 I changed the temperature sending unit by the thermostat and the purge valve, seems to have done the job, not saying that's gonna be your problem but it's worth a try, unhook the hose between the purge valve and the charcoal canister and if it's getting vaccum when the engine is cold, it's stuck open creating a vaccum leak, the temperature gauge can still work when that temprature sending unit is bad, and will make the computer think the engine is still cold when it's warmed up, just something to check, it drove me nuts.
mine is having not starting when it has too. it hesitates big time. specially cold starts. it's town random multiple misfires. but its not that because once it starts car runs fine. I'm leaning towards it been bad battery, because battery is leaking acid. I believe fuel pressure has something to do with it not wanting to start right away maybe low fuel pressure
im not certain but my 3g eclipse sounds like it has a bad fuel regulator. car won't turn over sometimes and could let it sit for a few minutes up to hours and come back start it up and it will start. by then all i can smell in the cabin is gas. it's like the engine is now flooded with gas
Could this be the cause to my misfire in cylinder 5 p0305. All of my spark plugs and ignition coils are replaced brand new, denso ignition coils and ngk spark plugs but still on hot days when the engine is at a full warm up itll miss fire just in that cylinder and no other codes beside that?
F150 2009 4.6 L seems like the pressure regulator is noisy at times on accelerating like fluttering noise and pour gas mileage ? I thought it was fan clutch

We have tried to fix everything under the sun on my 1988 Chevy G20 it keeps bogging out and wanting to shut down even while we're driving on the highway then it will drive perfectly fine for miles and then it will act up again for a few seconds and then it will drive perfectly fine for another few miles if anyone can give me any help I'd appreciate it already changed the map sensor and the throttle position sensor the fuel pump the fuel filter none of these needed to be done but I'm trying to eliminate it since it doesn't have it OBD1 and I cannot get anything to help me understand what's going on. It also backfires and hesitates and skips but we changed the spark plugs and wires and cap and rotor and when we give it gas it stops acting up until it acts up again

I have black smoke, but then it goes away🤷♂️... I used my obd2 and it said fuel pressure regulator 1.... do I just change the fuel pressure regulator.. (2009 vw cc 3.6)
I'd bank more on the pump then the regulator being broken tbh. you can always just go the cheaper route and replace the regulator first since it's cheaper. same issues like what a bad/failing fuel pump does too. only big notice for mine is that the fuel pump is super loud and sometimes sounds like it is running dry. otherwise my car does start here and there, does drive, but also stalls getting 0 gas. lucky for me i get to change both so it doesn't matter too much sad part is this pump i got failing is only a year old. OEM one completely died out with 0 warning motor just gave out one day.
Looking for advice on an 04 civic sedan manual transmission. How do I know if its the filter, pump, or fuel injectors? I checked the fuses. Not sure if its the relay. It just started idling extremely rough and stalling. Won't rev past 2000 rpm, no power. Feels like its starved of fuel. I got rear ended hard a few weeks ago. I don't know if its related. No check engine light. Could it be fuel pressure regulator? Just checked. The relay is working, the fuel pump is coming on. I unhooked the line, there's fuel pressure. I didn't measure the pressure just visually gas spurts out with pressure when I disconnect the line. Thinking of cleaning the MAF sensor and checking the coil packs. No check engine light. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks man something is up with my miata
This is interesting. Makes Sense.
Hey,
just wanted to share the Gospel that all men need, the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) this means we all deserve death and separation from a perfect and holy God. But God did not leave us for dead, He sent His only begotten Son to die in yours and my place, so that anyone who believes in Him and repents of sin will be saved from separation from God, and have eternal life! I urge you please put your faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him, He promises to save all who cry out to Him and have a humble heart. We arent guaranteed another day so we must repent of sin and seek Him today while He may be found!
Yeah, my car starts very badly, like not getting enough of something, and im just there playing with the key till it starts finally.
Could this cause a problem where the engine starts fine when it's cold, but once it gets to running temprature it cranks over fine but will not start
I'm having the same problem
@@daltoncorzine2760 I changed the temperature sending unit by the thermostat and the purge valve, seems to have done the job, not saying that's gonna be your problem but it's worth a try, unhook the hose between the purge valve and the charcoal canister and if it's getting vaccum when the engine is cold, it's stuck open creating a vaccum leak, the temperature gauge can still work when that temprature sending unit is bad, and will make the computer think the engine is still cold when it's warmed up, just something to check, it drove me nuts.
mine is having not starting when it has too. it hesitates big time. specially cold starts. it's town random multiple misfires. but its not that because once it starts car runs fine. I'm leaning towards it been bad battery, because battery is leaking acid. I believe fuel pressure has something to do with it not wanting to start right away maybe low fuel pressure
Big up and useful insight
What is the difference between the regulator or damper
Where is it located at on a 2006 Dodge ram hemi 2500???
Thanks for the video. How about a hard warm start?
I have the same issue too, did this help you?
@@GutterGuys mine wasn’t the regulator but had two issues distributer and accumulator
would the smell of gas and emissions be a symptom of a bad regulator?
im not certain but my 3g eclipse sounds like it has a bad fuel regulator. car won't turn over sometimes and could let it sit for a few minutes up to hours and come back start it up and it will start. by then all i can smell in the cabin is gas. it's like the engine is now flooded with gas
Well done!
Could this be the cause to my misfire in cylinder 5 p0305. All of my spark plugs and ignition coils are replaced brand new, denso ignition coils and ngk spark plugs but still on hot days when the engine is at a full warm up itll miss fire just in that cylinder and no other codes beside that?
could be the air intake manifold gasket
Could this possibly cause the P2097 code to pop up?
F150 2009 4.6 L seems like the pressure regulator is noisy at times on accelerating like fluttering noise and pour gas mileage ? I thought it was fan clutch
I have code p018c coming up not enough voltage and fuel pressure sensor b circuit low. I changed the fuel rail sensor and the fuel sensor
That’s a good video thanks
You forgot to say that the engine can rev up and down if you try to engage the accelerator slightly and holding it at a certain degree open.
Sometimes a hate vehicles ran one out of gas and then the next day the other one quit working
Thank you!
So whenever a car starts then dies right after, that means a bad regulator?
Bro need your help what are the common problem when the engine is stalling while driving? any ideas with my suzuki ciaz? running low mileage 30,000km. No code founds. Thanks.
Could be crankshaft sensor
Good job
Can this cause a vehicle to stall?
Yep
If you turn the speec up to 1.5 he sounds normal..
1.25
My 01 gt mustang starts sometimes and drives but sometimes it will start and cut right off. Now it takes forever to crank. Does anyone know what this could be? Just put new fuel pump
very good ☆☆☆☆☆
Clio 2 2005 model has a line pressure fault. The problem cannot be found, can you help? injection or diesel pump? brain?
We have tried to fix everything under the sun on my 1988 Chevy G20 it keeps bogging out and wanting to shut down even while we're driving on the highway then it will drive perfectly fine for miles and then it will act up again for a few seconds and then it will drive perfectly fine for another few miles if anyone can give me any help I'd appreciate it already changed the map sensor and the throttle position sensor the fuel pump the fuel filter none of these needed to be done but I'm trying to eliminate it since it doesn't have it OBD1 and I cannot get anything to help me understand what's going on. It also backfires and hesitates and skips but we changed the spark plugs and wires and cap and rotor and when we give it gas it stops acting up until it acts up again
Try replacing the coil or coil pack whichever one you have ave....
lean on both banks new idle aid control vale intake gasket purged ecm truck ran a lot better for all most a week. Check engine light is back on. 1999 Ford f50 superduty 5.4 two valve engine. Help me please
Update? Same problem here.
What is the difference between a sensor and a regulator
One senses the fuel, one regulates the fuel.
I have black smoke, but then it goes away🤷♂️... I used my obd2 and it said fuel pressure regulator 1.... do I just change the fuel pressure regulator.. (2009 vw cc 3.6)
Yeahhhh ... change the fuel pressure regulator ... what do you have to lose?!?
How do I know it’s the regulator and not the pump ?
I'd bank more on the pump then the regulator being broken tbh. you can always just go the cheaper route and replace the regulator first since it's cheaper. same issues like what a bad/failing fuel pump does too. only big notice for mine is that the fuel pump is super loud and sometimes sounds like it is running dry. otherwise my car does start here and there, does drive, but also stalls getting 0 gas. lucky for me i get to change both so it doesn't matter too much sad part is this pump i got failing is only a year old. OEM one completely died out with 0 warning motor just gave out one day.
Tell me why his voice makes the facts stick :)
Do u have email i can send u video of my bronco having trouble starting after sitting for 20mins?
Looking for advice on an 04 civic sedan manual transmission.
How do I know if its the filter, pump, or fuel injectors? I checked the fuses. Not sure if its the relay. It just started idling extremely rough and stalling. Won't rev past 2000 rpm, no power. Feels like its starved of fuel. I got rear ended hard a few weeks ago. I don't know if its related. No check engine light. Could it be fuel pressure regulator?
Just checked. The relay is working, the fuel pump is coming on. I unhooked the line, there's fuel pressure. I didn't measure the pressure just visually gas spurts out with pressure when I disconnect the line. Thinking of cleaning the MAF sensor and checking the coil packs. No check engine light. Anyone have an idea?
Did you figure it out? What was it ?
GOOD DAY EASY AUTO FIX'..JUST WANT TO ASK' IS IT DANGEROUS TO START THE ENGINE WHEN FUEL MIX WITH ENGINE OIL???. PLEASE RESPOND'..
