ok explain this to me we still didn't get the civic running right. so what we did was change the fpr it was a used one so i don't know how good it was, so my buddy said turn the key and he pinched the fuel return line and boom it started what could it be? and what does it mean?

 

when u pinch the line it builds more fuel pressure. try changing the regulator with one u kno works.

 

the guys at the shop told me it has to do with my wiring how true could that be?

 

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

 

they did it at the shop so i am sure it is in there right, the small hose that connects to the intake manifold is the top right?

 

anyone?

 

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.

 

is there a good aftermarket FPR that i could look for any with the gauge on it?

 

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.

 

yup that is how mine is hooked up! do you think my FPR is shot?

 

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.

 

ok kool thanks a lot for the help,...know anyone selling a good FPR if you do let me know everyone on here has theres sold so far that i looked for

 

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

 

i didn't say used, but i can look at it i don't want B&M because i don't want to cut my stock regulator i just want want i can bolt down and call it a day
