hook up a fuel pressure gauge to injector rail measure pressure with engine running,then pull vacuum hose off regulator pressure should jump up about 10 psi. also make sure fuel is not leaking from fitting.this indicates a ruptured diaphragm in regulator, also make sure it holds 18inches of vacuum with a vacuum tester

Can a distributor go bad at the same time as a fuel pump or did my mechanic replace my fuel pump as a mistake and now telling me that my distributor is bad?

I put bad gas and now my car wont start I have drained the tank changed the fuel filter and the fuel regulator what else can you do?

The vehicle will have to be cranked a few times to get the bad fuel out of the far end of the fuel delivery systemif you have a safe way of collecting a sample from the fuel rail (like a fuel rail test port with a green cap) you can take samples there by switching the ignition from off to run several times until the fuel is clean.


What does a bad fuel filter look like?

Amazingly like a good fuel filter. Most fuel filters nowadays are sealed units where you replace the entire thing, not just the inside filter part, and you can't even see the filter itself without cutting it open (at which point you can pretty much take it for granted that it's NOW a bad fuel filter).

Have a fuel pressure test run. This will tell you if the fuel pump is bad.
