The pump must be working against normal fuel pressure conditions when its output is measured. ............................... > Fuel Pressure Regulator test (Bentley 24.25): > > With vacuum hose (2) connected spec: approx 2.0 bar, measured: 2.2 bar PASS > With vacuum hose (2) DISconnected spec: approx 2.5 bar, measured: 2.2 > bar HUH? > > The pressure did not change with the vacuum hose connected or disconnected. > This indicates a problem. It could be that the vacuum lines are not connected properly. Or the engine has a serious vacuum leak. Did the engine speed change when you unplugged the vacuum hose for the test? The next mechanics test for the regulator would be a vacuum hand pump connected to the vacuum port on the reg. Then test fuel pressure before and after manually applying a reasonable known vacuum pressure to the regulator vacuum connection. Mark
