Fuel Pressure Regulator: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
The Fuel Pressure Regulator controls the fuel pressure to the inlets of the fuel injectors and is controlled by engine manifold vacuum.
OPERATION
The Fuel Pressure Regulator contains a diaphragm and spring that opens and closes a check ball opening to the fuel return passage. As vacuum
increases, pulling the diaphragm against spring tension, more fuel is relieved to the tank and system fuel pressure decreases. As throttle approaches
wide open, manifold vacuum decreases toward 0.0 in. Hg. and the regulator blocks off more of the fuel return circuit, thus raising the system fuel
pressure. This enables the engine to receive additional fuel volume as required by high speed/load driving conditions.
