Hello,
I have a small problem with my car, a suzuki import. It's currently at 181k miles. I checked the fuel pressure and it is much lower than normal. Normal is 23-31 psi, and at idle it registers 17psi.
I performed the diagnostic procedures in the manual, and when I pinched the fuel return line, the pressure increased dramatically. The manual said this means it's a faulty fuel pressure regulator. The filter was also replaced a few weeks ago, with no change in pressure.
The regulator is a non-removable part of the entire FI housing and assembly, but it's fairly easy to remove the entire thing from the vehicle. I have a spare FI assembly from the salvage yard, but I was wondering if I could soak my original assembly in something like alcohol to clean out the crud. Is there such a thing as a concentrated FI cleaner that I could soak the entire assembly in? I've already tried all the "system cleaner" fluids and they don't change the psi one bit.
Thanks for any help, Dan
