regulates fuel presure at idle or under load so you dont get to much or too little fuel
It doesn't have a vacuum line attached to the fuel pressure regulator.
There isn't a vacuum line going to the regulator on a 1998 Dodge Caravan.
The fuel pressure regulator is located right on on the fuel rail, it has a vacuum line at one end and a fuel return line.
The vehicle does this on its own with a vacuum operated fuel pressure regulator.
fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail it will have a vacuum line on it
From your description I would guess that your car has a bad fuel pressure regulator. To check the fuel pressure regulator remove the vacuum connector from the throttle body. If gasoline comes out of a vacuum line the diaphragm has ruptured allowing excess gasoline to enter the intake through the vacuum line. If that is the case you will need to replace the fuel pressure regulator.
With vacuum line (from fuel pressure regulator) OFF and pinched , pressure should be between 47-54 psi. With vacuum line ON fuel pressure egulator, pressure should be between 38-46 psi.
There is a vacuum controlled pressure regulator on the fuel rail. Check for vacuum leaks. If the unit is faulty, it will often leak fuel into the vacuum line.
The Regulator for a 1994 Deville is mounted on the fuel rail. Disconnect the battery, then relieve fuel pressure. Remove the vacuum line from the regulator and unscrew it to replace.
One good and quick way to check it is to pull the vacuum line off of it and see if there is fuel leaking into the vacuum system. If there is, the regulator is bad.
The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel pressure at the fuel injectors. It uses vacuum pressure to control the pressure. It is positioned on the end of the fuel rail. If they leak, fuel will go into vacuum line causing hesitation on start-up and the smell of gas at exhaust. Warning, Fuel is under pressure. Disconnect battery and release pressure before replacement.
it depends on the manufacter date. 5-3-99 had a fuel regulator with a fuel return, after 5-3-99, no fuel regulator, returnless fuel system. if it is flooding, look at the fuel pressure sensor bolted on before the injection rail, fuel line go's to it and has one vacuum line and one plug in.
