That depends where the regulator is fitted.
Sounds like a bad fuel pressure regulator. That may be, but my experience with fuel pressure regulator failure was major overloading with fuel. This regulator is vacuum operated and when the diaphagm fails it won't open and allow excess fuel to return to the tank. Rather, I would presume it to be the fuel filter needing replacement.
The Fuel pressure regulator is the most likely cause. It is the circular device most visible after you take of the plastic cover for the engine. It has a vacuum line that connects to the Throttle body or intake manifold. What happens is the diaphragm in the fuel pressure regulator is leaking and allows raw fuel to leak through the vacuum line and into the manifold or throttle body. if you replace the fuel pressure regulator it should fix the problem.
Two things can happen. 1. the voltage regulator fails so that the alternator doesn't know the battery charge is dropping therefore the battery doesn't get charged. 2. The voltage regulator fails in such a way as to allow the alternator to overcharge the battery which causes the battery to overheat and fail, Sometimes an overcharged battery can explode.
No, the voltage regulator determines the alternators output voltage. That's all it does. If the regulator fails the battery level can drop to the point that there will not be sufficient charge to start the engine, but the regulator will not directly cause the engine to not run.
I would suspect the fuel pressure regulator valve which is located between the fuel rails beneath the plenum. If the diaphragm inside the valve fails it can allow gasoline to enter the vacuum line that operates the valve and then the gasoline can be pulled into the throttle body then migrate down to the air filter. If the pressure regulator is defective it can also cause rough idle and stalling at idle. You can do a check for this situation by removing the multiple port vacuum line fitting that plugs into the top of the throttle body. If gasoline is present in the plastic line that usually indicates a faulty fuel pressure regulator valve.
You may need to rephrase your question.
Check the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. If it fails it can allow fuel to enter the manifold via the vacuum hose.
When it leaks or fails to work.
The only use of an SCR in a powersupply regulator that I know of is a Crowbar protection circuit to force the breaker to pop if the regulation fails and the powersupply output voltage rises too high.
Yes. For example, if the left ventricle fails, blood build up in the pulmonary system causing congestion. This in turns increase the workload of the right ventricle (harder to pump blood into the pulmonary system due to higher pressure) and eventually the right ventricle also fails.
Yes, an incompetent valve is "leay" and fails to prevent the backflow of blood. an incomp valve may tend to decrease blood flow
Lock down as in safety shut off, no. If oil pressure fails, the engine will fail.
