Want this question answered?
If it's an old car, a lack of fuel flowing to the carb. So maybe a fuel pump or dirty fuel line.
If this happened all at once, check the vacuum lines. A cracked or broken line will cause high or rough idle.
A bad fuel pressure regulator or a clog in the fuel return line that leads back to the tank will cause this.
Very much so. A dirty filter causes restriction in fuel line then which requires more fuel to be pushed through into engine. Also can cause rough idle and sometimes stalling
A frail fuel line can cause a diesel engine not to start.
The issue may be one of several things. It may be caused by a clogged fuel line or fuel filter. There may also be a problem with the fuel pump, or a hole in the fuel line. It may also be caused by the fuel/air mixture being off.
regulates fuel presure at idle or under load so you dont get to much or too little fuel
Take an air hose and disconnect the fuel line right at the tank and blow the "sock" off of it. There is a mesh sock that collapses and blocks the fuel line under high performance conditions. A quick shot of air into the tank will make it float loose in the tank but at least it won't constantly be a problem.
Your fuel pressure drop could be do to a clogged filter, pinched line/hose, or a weak fuel pump. You should have around 35 psi at idle and 43 off idle. I hope this helps answer your question.
How high does it idle in park? It could be a few things depending on the amount of idle. It could be a vacume line, it could be your idle screw. If you will post or email me at mudislife2@yahoo.com the amount that it idles at than i can help you more from there.
One common cause is a leaking fuel pressure regulator. When they leak, raw fuel gets into its vacuum line and causes a rich condition which can cause the car to stall, and also give a hard starting condition. - TechJK --------------------------------
