Progress Thread Pete is checking out these valve covers

[Rdub6]

Check the resistance readings on the sender while you have it out. You won’t be happy if you put it back together and it doesn’t work!

Just finished my tank install. Pressure is at 37 is that ok. Do I have to take off my intake to get at my fuel regulator its under everything . It seems upside down near or below , across from egr

 

[General karthief]

You should not have to take anything off to get to fpr. Pics?

 

[Potomus Pete]

Is it here bad picture but basic area I can Google it​

 

[General karthief]

Can't tell, it's on the end of the fuel rail, vacuum line should be visible looking down at the back of the upper intake.
Looking closer and the orientation that should be it.

 

[Potomus Pete]

Do you remember it being upside down Googled it I was looking at the wrong thing. Found it thanks

 

[Noobz347]

Upside down? The vacuum line should be on the top.

Wow... That's a lot of posts for no good reason.

Seems to be a trend here.....

Fuel regulator is next to the salt and peppers on the drivers side. Googled it with a picture. Checking tomorrow because I would hope my pressure would be clser to forty. thirty seven now. Next I am going to work the salt and peppers. I was reading a thing on Corral with a guy that did his and his car changed completly for the better. Mine cant be good because when I touch them the car dies.

If you disconnect the vacuum line and smell gas then the diaphragm is perforated.

My FPR is on the passenger side. Good call on the s&p shakers. I did mine last winter, Wasn't hard to do.

I just cleaned my salt and peppers, fuel pump new, and throttle position sensor new and my car is fast as hell all of a sudden. Has never been better. This morning I put the red radiator hoses on. Then went to go for a race ride so happy with my new feel. Oh after finding my fuel sender float floating in my tank my gauge works

When changed my clutch I broke the vss speed control thing here. Its been off for a year. From what I have read it only effects the cruise control that I dont have.Putting it on later. My car has a lurching forward problem. Maybe it will fix it

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

Did you get a pic of the inside of your salt and pepper shakers? Wondering how dirty they were Pete.

Finally I am putting a new ECT sensor does it go on this rail thing here? Looks like it could be a problem getting this plastic connector off without breaking it.

They were clean I took a utility knife to open them up a bit. Cleaned then i little with cleaner.

If you read some of my stuff you may remember that I am an avid gardener. Monarch butterflies are here now and I plant lots of Milkweed all around my house. I produce dozens of flies every year Plus extra pictures for the fun of it. Need to get my plug wires right

 

[Potomus Pete]

Need to put my new ETC sensor in does it go here on this rail.

 

[stanglx2002]

Yes, the ECT goes in the lower intake metal coolant lines.
