The best way to know is to check your fuel pressure with a guage.  Brian
Doss was selling them for around $35 at one point.  I got one and it comes
in real handy for stuff like this.  Hope this helps.

Subject: Bad fuel pressure regulator?

Hi list...
    How can you tell if the fuel pressure regulator is bad?  I installed a
golf fuel injectors, rail, and fpr on my Tiico 2.0 - yes, they were all used
parts.  I did have the whole assembly cleaned before I installed them,
though.  Afterwards, I reset the computer to the 128 setting using the Ross
Tech software.  It ran great for a short time - ie 400 miles.  Now, it runs
like it is too rich.  Crappy idle, but it smooths out just as soon as you
touch the gas.  Also, very hard to start.  Tailpipe is sooty black so I know
it's too rich.  Any suggestions?
