I just bought a 255 in tank pump and an areomotive regulator. I heard that you have to do something to the o2 sensors when you put an adjustable regulator on. Something about throwing a code or something like that. Is this correct? What do I need to do?

Maybe you're thinking of LT's and O2 signals?

Click to expand...

Don't worry about the O2 sensors, just make sure you are doing a Fuel Pressure Guage as well so you actually have some clue as to what fuel pressure you are running with your adjustable regulator.

It would seem too obvious to mention but enough people for whatever reason forget the guage

Right... nothing to do.

The guage is key though... without it the regulator really is useless..

Just remember you only get the Extra fuel you dial in at WOT, otherwise the stock EEC will correct the pulse width and mixture. Set the pressure with vac off of the regulator, and hit the throttle a little to get it to settle and show you the correct pressure.

Spend more on a liquid filled gauge and install the regulator, set it and go.
