So I was bored and a little drunk last night and I decided to go fiddle with the car. Well, I was playing with the fuel pressure and I noticed that the car will not idle at anything under about 40psi, idle, vac line hooked up. WTF. That is real high. And the car is running real rich. Like, if I really get on it, partial boost is quite rich and WOT is just fine. Any thoughts?
No boost leaks that I can find. Clean MAF. No codes. Good grounds. Newer IACV. Nismo FPR. NGK iridium 6 range plugs. Thanks guys.

Regulator has a faulty diaphram or fuel pump is going bad. I'm voting regulator because they do fail as I've had mine fail as well. Yes, the NISMO fpr is not bulletproof .rico05 wrote:So I was bored and a little drunk last night and I decided to go fiddle with the car.

Re: (rico05)
the FPR is universal to nissan....... you could always try it on another nissan.... Another CA would be ideal.
didnt you help your friend do a CA swap too?

Fair enough, I don't think its really necessary for sending you a small part via the USPS.
