hEY all, just installed an adjustable fuel pressure reg on the civic. first time i fired her up she was trying to die on me. I wasn't completely sure I had knew which was inlet, which was outlet for the fuel on the regulator so i switched them and fired her up again. This time it cranked but wouldn't start, so I figured I had it correct the first time and maybe the pressure is just set too low. So i switched them back to where I had them the first time and now nothing will happen, just cranks. Could I have broken the FPR by hooking it up wrong or couil there be another problem I'm not aware of. This seemed to be a pretty simple install and I'm kinda pissed its giving me trouble. Thanks in advance.

 

you need to set the pressure to 40psi. the engine has to be running. unhook the vacuum hose that is connected to it and adjust it. you also need the fuel pressure gauge so you know where the pressure is at.

 

yeah pressure is set at 40 but the car won't start that is my problem

 

What kind of FPR did you get? I've heard the cheaper ones can do more harm than good

 

yeah its a cheap one off ebay. its acting like its not getting fuel but when one end is unkooked and you turn the key fuel runs through and comes out the other end. im stumped.

 

i would ditch the cheap on and go with like a aem or like a b&m

 

put the stocker back on and still wont start. Do you have to do anything special like bleading the line of anything when you do this?

 

if the fuel lines are hooked up right, you might have a clogged line. is fule getting to the regulator, and the injectors

 

check the filter.... lol but did you unhook anything else like the battery terminal? or did u swap out anyother parts at the same time?

 

no other parts were swapped, filter is brand new, and yes the battery was disconnected during install.............
