So i was looking around at my vacuum lines wondering why the hell this thing is not getting fuel.. and after checking a thread on here about the lines, i noticed that the line going from the plenum to the fpr goes through a fuel pressure regulator solenoid. Where is this thing and what does it look like? How important is it because i just have a straight line going to it.

Hmm.. ok well thats good :) but would that line being clogged keep fuel from flowing to/through the injectors?

no that regulates fuel going back into the tank... do you possibly have your fuel lines backwards? the one coming from your fuel filter goes into the end of the rail WITHOUT the FPR... the FPR side goes back to the tank.

Lol omg... i think im a moron but let me just be sure... yeah i am. The entire time im sitting here thinking that the fpr side was to regulate fuel going in... so i think i have it backwards. Everyone said to make sure they wernt backwards but i thought i had em right. Ill be sure to give you a handshake if i ever meet you :).
