Has anyone ever had fuel leaking out of their fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail? After several repairs, I was going to start to bburp the coolant and it woudl not start. Upon inspection I found the regulator leaking. When I took the connector apart, the insode was filled with fuel. Also, can someone tell me where the vacumn line for this would go? The funny thing is (not really) the regulator on the car didnt even have a vacumn line connected. I am going to order one and replace it but really need to know where the vacumn goes.

Back story, I am just explaining this as something I replaced may or may not have caused this.

In the past two weeks or so I have replaced

* Radiator with uper and lower hoses
* coolant pump
* Coolant housings with thermostat
* Fuel injectors
* Coils and plugs
* Vavle cover gasgets
* Intake manifold Gaskets
* AC Condensor
* EGR complete
* Fuel Filter
* Brakes a Rotors
* Dual Climate zone valve

I think this may be it.. This is not my engine, just a picture I referenced. Also, I apologize for the mispelling in the original post. Its late, smell like gas and extremely dissapointed...

The fuel rail pressure sensor senses the pressure difference between the fuel rail and the intake manifold. The vacuum line to the fuel pressure sensor and the EGR valve is located on the manifold behind the throttle body.

Awesome pics Doug. Appreciate it! Installed the new one today and fabricated the infamous vacuum harness that we can’t get any longer. After several weeks of work, I finally got to drive her around the block a few times. Can’t wait to spread the wings.
