Default Pressure drop at low RPM's

Yea so I know my car is a piece anyway with a 1.5 dual port injection anyway, but at low RPM's I think I'm losing fuel pressure. Could the regulator be clogged? Fuel is leaking sometimes from the regulator so I guess I just answered my question. Any thoughts?

There's an O-ring that sits between the regulator and the fuel rail. You could try replacing that. If the fuel is leaking from the top of the regulator then you need a new regulator, and if the fuel is leaking from the return line try buying a screw-type clamp and clamping that into place.

HTH .

P.S. For $50 or so you can pick up a B&M fuel pressure gauge which sits on top of your fuel filter. This way you could actually tell if the fuel pressure is dropping drastically.
