Big troubles with fuel pressure regulator

Post by Guest »

I am pretty sure that I will be needing a new Fuel Pressure Regulator soon.
Today my car started to run very strange. It had been running strange for a while but now its worse.
Anyways I looked at what I could see of the FPR and I could see gas coming out in a trickle. It also look like there was fuel leaking out around the injectors as well.

So I was wondering if someone could give me some part numbers or just let me know what I need to get as far as parts go.

I know I will need a

Fuel Pressure Regulator
Plenum Gaskets
Throttle Body Gasket

Not sure what sort of Seals or O-rings I need to get for the injectors and the fuel rails?

Also would it be easy to change the valve cover gaskets at the same time?

And how to I polish my plenum and valve covers.

Thanks sorry about the long post.

Yes it is very easy.  And you don't need to get a new tb gasket because you don't need to take the TB off...

And as always, make sure you get GM plenum gaskets!!!!

Is there a reason why I should get GM gaskets?

I was also wondering whether you changed the o-rings on everything and where did youget them.
