      Fuel Pump Replacement

      By ctaco · Posted

      Fuel filter was changed 2,000 miles ago. No fuel coming out of FPR port. I'm imagining the whine of the fuel pump and the reduction in pressure is likely indicating a fuel pump replacement. There is a chance the fuel filter is the issue, but it is a WIX filter and the old filter wasn't dumping filthy fuel out when I removed it.

      Fuel Pump Replacement

      That does seem a little low according to this chart: https://charm.li/Buick/1996/Regal V6-3.8L VIN K/Repair and Diagnosis/Maintenance/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Fuel Pressure/Testing and Inspection/ Looks like minimum key on engine off should be 48 and running no less than 38.  Has fuel filter been changed recently?  I never thought a filter could make that much difference, but on my Grand Prix it made a huge difference. Also check to make sure no fuel leaking out of the vacuum port of the FPR.  If you have a small handheld vacuum pump, check to make sure it holds vacuum and no fuel comes out.  Leaky FPR can reduce fuel pressure too.  I've had to replace those on 3 W-bodies. If all that checks out, you might have a fuel pump job in your future.

      Fuel pressure is at 45 PSI with key on and engine off. When the engine is running, it is at 32 PSI. I think that is likely meaning the fuel pump is bad, right?

      Did you paint it or something? All of the ones I am seeing look like bare metal
