Fuel pressure regulator
Vehicle : 99 accord ex 2.3 vtec AT
Malfunction indicator lamp (check engine light) popped on after a trip to Virginia. I had the local auto zone guy ran the computer and the feedback codes were: PO170/PO171.
Googled the codes and found it was the fuel system, bank one fuel too lean.
My mechanic friend checked my car and said it was my fuel pressure regulator and it will run me $200 to replace it.
Funny thing is, the light turned it self off after 4 days and the engine stopped acting funny.
I think the 10% etho gas in Virginia was the cause but I am not sure. I checked the owner guide prior putting in the 10% ethonal gas and it stated it can take up to 10% ethonal gas.
Sorry for the long post! WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?
Thanks

Ditto the above^^^.
Definitely do not pay $200 to replace a fuel pressure regulator... http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_nkw...romZR40QQ_mdoZ 94

#6 $25.75+shipping, and its 1 vacuum line, 1 fuel line, and 2 bolts, probably a 15 minute job, if you really want to change it
