You sure the bolt on the fuel pressure is facing the correct direction?

i really doubt it has anything to do with the harness, the fuel line connects to the bottom of the regulator and then the top goe from the regulator to the intake manifold. hope this helps u out some.

Not the same size or look as a honda but it gives you a good idea to make sure your correct.

B&M makes good FPR with gauges, so does AEM and other companies.

You said he pinched the fuel return line right? the line thats on the bottom of the FPR? It could be that your FPR isnt making enough pressure to have the car running. By pinching it he held the pressure in the FPR to go to the fuel rail to fuel the injectors. If there was no pinch then theres no fuel in the FPR. So yes it could be shot.

Why buy a used one? You can get a brand new B&M for around 50$ or an AEM is even better.
