Is there a way you can tell if your fuel regulator is going bad? Also is there anyway to upgrade it if it is bad or just go buy a new one?

 

You can check your FPR by pulling the vacuum line at the FPR. Run the truck for a bit then shut it down. Pull the vacuum line and check for the presence of fuel. If it is wet then the FPR is bad and needs to be replaced. Just put a new one in it's place.

 

About how much do they usually go for? I got quoted $67. Does this sound right?

 

That's about what mine went for (I payed slightly less since I work at a dealership myself)

 

Yeah that little sucker is HIGH. what kind of problems were you guys having when it was bad. Mine is wet in there so I am pretty sure it is bad

 

I was having hard start issues and running poorly until I drove it and beat on it a bit.

 

By hard start do you mean it would just keep turning over and over and then it would start and idle funny? for a little bit.
