Finnished my mod of s/s line and SX fuel pressure regualator.



Finally go the car started. it idles but eventually dies. My fuel pressure gauge, says 0psi. I also found fuel leakage but looks like is leaking at the bottom of the fuel filter.



I even took out the guage from the FPR to see if it will shoot fuel, nothing. Shouldn't it shoot out fuel???



What do you guys think? Bad fuel filter, clogged or the FPR is faulty?

I'll do the fuel filter change first and see how it goes. I will also put in a new rubber fuel injection hose at the filter, is as old as the car.



I did notice like the fpr pulsating but not sure.

pull the return line off after the reg and see if there is anything in it.





and I asume your gauge is hooked in before the FPR and not after it?
