Replacing the fuel pressure regulator on the 1988 Ford Crown Victoria Affiliate Links Fuel Pressure Regulator - amzn.to/2q0QgsD Ratcheting Screwdriver - amzn.to/2q0a8ME Amazon Store www.amazon.com...
Bah, I replaced one of those regulators on an 86 ltd my friend owned. I did it in a college parking lot at night, it was terrible. I did not have enough tools with but did have some allen wrenches, did it without taking off the intake due to lack of tools and gaskets. Finally got it off one tiny turn at a time on the worst one. Watching this is like reliving bad memories, but glad I did. hah
Great video, very informative. I had to take the manifold off to get to that third screw, not as talented as you guys, even with a tool that i made. New regulator went right in then my fuel pump died completely so this wasn't my problem either.
I’m trying to get my dads 88 Ltd back on the road, I just finished swapping the heater core (hated that), but the car won’t start so I can test it… it’s cranks over but won’t start up. Was that the issue you had before doing this repair? I’m trying to narrow down what it could be, any advice would be greatly appreciated💪🏼
Honestly taking the upper intake off is not that bad. If you've done it enough it's literally a 15-minute job or less. I know because I'm having problems with fuel injectors and I've had mine off like four or five times in the last few days lol
For reliability, comfort and just generally being an above average car and IMHO, FAR superior to the crap marketed today, the old Crown Victorias are a good choice. BUT - and there is always a "But", who ever designed these should have been put to sleep right after they were born. There is just nothing easy to fix on them. We have two CV's - our trusty old '89 and a '91 and we love them. How I'd like to find a low mileage one as a summer driver ( as in no road salt ) but man, I hate working on them. Waayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many electronics for my liking - and these are old school - almost antiques by today's standards. I wonder what the IQ was of the mutant that mounted thiose fuel pressure regulators like that was? Screws from the bottom up on an already wire and vacuum line infested engine bay... unbelievable. Three fuel filters - the final one on each injector that is not serviceable if it gets anything in it.. go figure.
3 months has gone by ... are you still waiting for an answer ?!? 1. is there gas in the tank? 2. fuel pump working? 3. battery ok? 4. spark plugs need changing?
you have any issues with it since? been having that problem with my '90. Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor... only an issue when it sits in rain overnight.@@solojones1767
It might be in the engine compartment near the fender wells at the back. Look on Google. Get a Actron CP9690 code tester. It checks live, record, graphing, emissions readiness test, oxygen sensor test, transmission code test, ABS, SRS, and MORE! It has code- connect to diagnose codes. Snap on scanner works from '80-2000. Get the primary cartridge and troubleshooter cartridge and manuals and Ford EEC-IV adaptor or OBDII adaptor. Also get the cigarette lighter cable or battery cable for the adaptor.
Please keep posting ... I have the 89 LTD your videos are a life saver.

your videos are perfect man you're very logical and calming to watch work on cars
Your customer tool made that job much easier. Nice work!

JJ Perry what kind of issues we’re having with it? I have a 90 and I’m pretty sure it needs a new fuel pressure regulator as well.

That tool that you used, I have something similar I think it came in a freebie tool kit from Princess Auto in the US Harbor Freight
Wow that thing started right up and very fast that time.

is your fuel pump in the gas tank if so do you have to drop your tank to replace it??????
Check the carburator coil reducer

Where are the three filters? I only see one in mine bro.
What 1988 Crown Vic came with a 5.0 liter engine?
95%of them lol
@truknz71 - do you tend to ask rhetorical questions, without any personal research, much in daily life, too ?!? ehhh?
How do you know it's the pressure regulator or fuel pump??.
One usually does not. "guessing" / throwing parts at the problem.
Haha yup gotta luv them
To change the FPR on chevy v6 4.3 Vortec you have to take the intake off which sucks.
My 87 crown Victoria wont get fire I changed the coil and the distributor
Two years has passed. Have you figured out the "no fire"??
You really need to get an exhaust on that thing
Hey @raymondkloehn - No, he does not !! Sounds bad ass enough !!
its lovely
Any more issues after you replaced the regulator?
Why the need to ask the question? Being a Ford product, now 4 years later, SOMETHING must have gone wrong with the Lincoln !!
There's a J-shaped tool, I think by OTC to unscrew those screws.
I have a 91 that has a no start issue. I’m planning a full diagnosis of it but I want to know is this where you first started?
3 months has gone by ... are you still waiting for an answer ?!? 1. is there gas in the tank? 2. fuel pump working? 3. battery ok? 4. spark plugs need changing?
😂 yo point Bru.. that same day I got it to run with no reply.
you have any issues with it since? been having that problem with my '90. Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor... only an issue when it sits in rain overnight.@@solojones1767
300 Six, EFI, the upper intake has to come off to change the regulator.
Great 🎥
What are the bad symptoms
Have you done any research?!? Or is asking questions easier.
Hi which was yours problem and the car thanks or which was the reason
Did that public school you attended, teach you punctuation, or how to write proper English ?!?
I will legit subscribe to the one who has a link for that bit holder.
How'd the antifreeze for brake fluid awhile back work?
Why the need to ask?? If brake fluid is available use brake fluid.

please help, where is the fuel pump relay located?
It might be in the engine compartment near the fender wells at the back. Look on Google. Get a Actron CP9690 code tester.

got to get that exhaust leak fixed on there and get some new tires and drive it over the winter get some snow treads on there?
No! 88 Lincoln is his to repair as wanted. Any other un-asked for advice??
👍✌
how much did u pay for the regulator
About $20
Got any other nosy questions? Any search engine could give you a price !!
I'm wondering if maybe that's been the cause of this car's years of hard starting?
What "cause of an 88 Lincoln's hard starting?!?" Not aware of a widespread problem.
Does Ford make anything easy to replace. lol
Yes! Changing the battery !! (not laughing!!)
@@warriormanmaxx8991as someone who recently had to change a battery on a dodge journey, I appreciate this comment 😂
