Default Fuel Pressure Regulator?

Ok, so here's the issue... it has a rough idle and accelleration until about 3k RPM. After that, it's pretty smooth. After playing around, I decided to unhook the vaccuum line off of the FPR today, and the idle was nice and smooth... think I may have a bad FPR?

If you managed to change smth, I would definitely at least try to continue in this direction. It shouldn't be expensive, and if you are lucky you will not break these two bolts...

Interesting, we have another thread that may be the same problem. https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_355881/tm.htm

smth? Well... I don't have a lot of money to throw at it... and it's getting worse by the day... I use this car for work sometimes, so... I need it to work, but I don't want to throw a ton of money at it just "trying" I was hoping that someone may have had the same issue.

By smth I meant you touched FPR and engine behaved better - so there is a good chance that FPR is the problem source...

ah... I didn't understand what smth was... LOL... yeah, that's what I'm guessing... it has something to do with fuel delivery... I saw a way to check the FPR... so, I'll try that...

After giving it some thought, I would try to replace fuel filter, too, if you did not do this recently
