hey guys.. just reput my stuff back on after replacing the intake manifold gasket... when i turn on the car and the fuel pump comes on.. it sprays gas out inbeween the fuel rail and the fuel pressure regulator.. i tighted it and put a O ring washer in there.. its still spraying out the side.. any clue what might cause this?

 

using teflon tape or paste?

 

around what?the sides?

 

need sum tips here guys..

 

could i possible be putting out too much fuel

 

 

yeah thats the ONLY cure , teflon tape =

 

i'm thinking either the fpr setting or the o ring rubber washer.

 

There's a tiny o-ring inbetween there that you may have lost. Look to see if it's there, else you might have to buy a new one...

 

i bought a faucet O ring washer instead because my local acura dealer needs to special order it. The O ring fits fine.. i'm still stuck on this problem.. could it be too much fuel pressure? if so.. how do i lower/releave it?

 

The reguar fawcet oring is designed for water, not fuel. It'll prolly get eaten away... That's just a thought though...

 

missing o ring

 

so you guys still think its the O ring? aright i'm gonna try to put in the order tomorrow or see if NAPA has it in stock. Acura wants 13 bucks for that washer..

 

Mine leaked cause the o ring was cut a little so i replaced it and the problem was gone...make sure the o ring is seated perfectly....

such little thing makes a difference =/

 

i replaced the O ring with a factory one today and its still spraying out.. i replaced the manifold with skunk2... it doesn't use one hole on the top ... my firend told me to leave that hose out .. its from the big place thing that the fuel filter goes to.. when you look at it.. its on the bottom left.. big black canister looking thing..

 

Can ya take a picture, and with an arrow of where the leak is? I guess I"m confused.

 

Hmmm... with a new o-ring there, there should be no reason why that's leaking, unless you droped it or something, and created a flaw in the two surfaces... That's really really strange... I guess I'm stumped on this one. Maybe try the Tech forum...

Also, isn't that black resovoir for the GSR manifold, that's the IAB resovoir or something, you should be able to take that out...

Do you have an aftermarket fuel pump which is putting super pressure on your fuel rail maybe? I'm guessing here now....

 

hey reefer_bob.. thanks for your help.. finally located the problem.. there is a Hair thin crack in the FPR... so i gotta purchase a new one... any other selections other then AEM?

 

AEM

Unless of course you wanna buy my used stock FPR...

 

how muc?

 

I dunno what it's worth. I'll say... $25 shipped if that sounds fair.

 

Sweet, I'm glad you found the problem.... That and the fact that I wasn't smoking too much crack at not figuring out the problem... The AEM unit is nice, but it's a little spendy at like 125 or so... There are a couple options for ya... Good Luck!

 

hey pbfoot i'm actually picking up one today before i saw your offer for 25 also.. thanks for your offer though.. i apperciate it... as for that AEM reefer... its 159 retail and the best price i can find is 150 shipped... I think i'm gonna pick up the stock one today and just spend the money elsewhere, which it could do more DAMAGE
