Best Answer

These leak sometimes. Its regulates the pressure to the injectors. It is located inside the plenum part of the intake manifold. You have to take Plenum off to service. You know when they leak because you car is hard to start and appears to run rich at startup. Can also cause your car to run rich while driving because fuel is essentially leaking in the the manifold in drops.

Where is the fuel pressure regulator on a 1999 Chevy Suburban located?

fuel pressure regulator 99 suburbanI have a 99 suburban 2500 with a 7.4 motor. In it the fuel pressure regulator is just below the distributor to the right. I had to remove the upper manifold and pull the distrbutor to change it. Wasn't as tough a job as it sounds, just took a while. Hope this helps. On a 99 Chevy suburban k1500 5.7L, the regulator is directly under the intake manifold. It is connected to the passenger end of the SCPI fuel injector assembly. You can't see it until you remove the manifold. It is held on by a clip that can easily be removed with a flat-head screwdriver. If you remove the regulator, take note of which direction the clip is facing because it will only go back on one way.
