| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The fuel pressure regulator failed were as the diaphram had a major leak causing gas to be pumped through the diaphram directly into the throttle body. gas poured out of the throttle body and filled the air cleaner housing full of gas. gas was dripping from the throttle body were the duct connected and leads to the air cleaner. this gas leak was leaking onto the crossover over exhuast pipe. the gas streamed out of the vacuum port of the regulator at a good rate only when the ignition was switched on and the pump came on for approximatly 5 seconds. the car was repeatedly tried to start and the ignition was cycled over ten times. each cycling of the ignition pumped over a cup of gas into the aircleaner. the car did not have a heavy gas smell until i lossened the screws of the aircleaner top and gas poured out all over the elecrical components below. this car showed no problems before this happen. the car was being driven on the highway and when my wife got off and stopped at the intersection the car quit. i feel this type of failure was extremly dangerous and could have been worse.*ak |
