The fuel pump pressurizes fuel to a greater pressure than is needed at the injectors. There are different types of regulator, some "bleed off" excess pressure by allowing fuel to dump back into the tank via a separate return line, other regulators close a valve once a specific pressure is reached.

The only fuel filter on 2006 chevy hhr's are located in the fuel tank and the fuel tank only, if you are having a fuel related issue try injector cleaner first then work your way up to the fuel pressure regulator( you can probably have pressure tested at a 3rd party mechanic pretty cheaply). If pressure is low replace the regulator first then work your way to the fuel pump if problems persist.

When a fuel pressure regulator leaks on your 1999 Oldsmobile alero can it cause the fuel pump to work intermittently?

I doubt it. I have a 01 Alero that had to have a new fuel pump at about 100,000. If you have a leaking regulator, you need to replace it. It is a fire hazard. The symptoms for the bad fuel pump were normal function then it would just stop working. When it cooled down it would work again.
