If you look at it you will see a vacuum line hooked to it, while the engine is running unplug it and the engine sound should change. If it don't then the regulator is bad.

You can also hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel line and read what the pressure is while engine is idleing and then unplug the regulator and the fuel pressure should go up a few LBS. If not replace regulator.

What would cause fuel pressure drop overnight on 2003 Chevy s10 4.3L MFI?

Could be a faulty check valve in the fuel pump, a leaky fuel injector poppet or a leaky fuel pressure regulator. My guess would be the fuel pressure regulator.


After you changed the fuel pump in your 97 silverado it floods out at an idle any ideas?

Check your fuel pressure regulator. $40-$50 is what it will roughly be. Should be somewhere on the top side of the engine connected to your fuel injector rail. That would cause your flooding problem. Shouldn't be hard to do on your truck.

No it is not a fuel pump problem. It either has a grounded are open circurt. Check wiring to injector. May just be a bad INJECTOR.


What is wrong when the engine is not getting fuel pressure but the fuel pump and filter are OK?

Check three things: Fuel pump relay, and fuel pump inertia cut off safety device if equiped. check for 12 volts at the fuel pump to rule out faulty connector or wiring. Plus you need to check if the fuel injector if stuck open and also the fuel pressure regulator. this is on a 2000 kia sportage and no cut off safety switch,where is the pressure regulator located

Presumably you mean slow cranking. Check for weak battery or bad starter. If not slow cranking so much as long cranking time check for loss of fuel pressure overnight using fuel pressure gauge. If so, suspect leaking injector or possibly leaking regulator.
