Sounds like the diaphram ripped the older Aem fpr's were nototrious for doing that.It shouldnt be leaking fuel when the vac line is disconnected.

My vote is to put a stock FPR on the car. An aftermarket FPR is not necessary IMO. If you need one, let me know...i've got an extra laying around. OEM equipment for the most part doesnt fail and lasts a long time. Seems like a majority of the time certain parts are upgraded for no reason at all.

If you are going to spend any more money (other then stock) on an FPR, Id get an Aeromotive unit. Just my .02

I`ve heard at least 2 stores locally about the AEM regulators dumping fuel into the vacuum line. I had 2 different AEM regulators on 2 different setups and never had any sort of problems! The first step is to get a new diaphram.

I installed an AEM regulator on a Supra about 4 years ago, and I still remember that p.o.s. dumping fuel everywhere. There was a pin-size hole in the diaphragm. Regulator was new and car wasn't even seeing boost yet....
Aeromotive ftw!

You'll probably want to change your oil after fixing your problem.

I reember a thread on here a while back called something like "civic extra crispy", where the guy blamed his aem fpr for flame broiling his engine compartment, and other people seemed to agree that was probably it..
