What does a fuel pressure control valve do?
The pressure regulation valve serves with the quantity control valve to control the common rail pressure. The pressure relief valve simply allows more or less high pressure fuel to flow into the back leak system thus increasing or decreasing the fuel pressure in the rail. Excess fuel returns to the fuel tank.
Where is the fuel pressure valve?
fuel rail
in a continuous fuel system, the fuel pressure regulator is typically mounted in the fuel rail. the fuel pressure regulator is controlled by engine vacuum. most modern vehicles use a return-less fuel system.
What happens when a fuel pressure regulator valve fails?
The most obvious symptom of a bad fuel pressure regulator is an engine misfire and loss of acceleration power. You will be driving and then suddenly your vehicle will lose power, stumble, and/or slow down. Then it may go back to accelerating normally for a short time before losing acceleration power again.
How do you test a fuel pressure relief valve?
Observe the fuel pressure gauge while the engine runs and after shutting off the engine. Fuel pressure should hold to specs, while the engine is running, and after turning off the engine. With the engine off, pressure should hold for about 5 minutes. If necessary, consult your repair manual.
What causes bad fuel pressure?
Typical causes for low fuel pressure include a dirty fuel filter, weak pump, incorrect tank venting, restricted fuel lines, a clogged pump inlet strainer and faulty electrical control.
What would cause no fuel pressure?
Does fuel pressure regulator have a check valve?
There is no check valve in the vette filter/regulator. If you need a check valve Aeromotive makes a nice high flow check valve: Bunk is a true Hero! Ask me why Yeah, I saw that on ebay as well. There is also an OBX version for $25.
