Thank you very much. I really appreciate being able to communicate with you and get a second opinion about these things. I once had significant mechanical skills, but most of these are obsolete now and I’m really enjoying picking up the opportunity to rehabilitate this 30 year old sports car. I think I’ll just enjoy driving it for a while and see if the pressures maintain

Good question about the FPr. When I disconnected the vacuum line, I had fuel coming out of the fuel pressure regulator. I knew that the diaphragm was shot. Also, when I would start the engine, I get a gas smell and a cloud of dust out the exhaust. Also, the idle was very rough. Those last two problems are now fixed since I replace the fuel pressure regulator, I just was unaware of what the fuel rail pressure should be

With the ignition in run mode( fuel pump on), the pressure is 28. When ignition is on, pressure goes to 29. With vacuum detached, it goes to 35. Also, there is no drop off in pressure from 28 after 15 minutes in run mode

I found the used part at a salvage yard in Wales. They were kind enough to sell it to me and ship it to the US. It is from a Vauxhall Astra XE engine. Now I’m trying to find out what the recommended fuel pressure is for this engine . before replacement I was measuring 40 psi. Now, I am measuring 30 psi. The idle of the engine and the subjective “richness” of the combusted air fuel mixture seem much better with the replacement part

Thank you very much I will try to find one

I need a Bosch fuel pressure regulator for a Bosch fuel injection system on my Vauxhall 2 L engine. The part number is 280160288. Any help on finding this would be very much appreciated
