Greetings all -
I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for. Anyway, I'd like to rebuild and/or replace the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm, and possibly the spring, on a 220 TBI unit.
I found a kit made by standard auto that includes the spring and diaphragm for about $26; and a kit made by Delphi that includes the diaphragm, but not the spring, for $68.
The Delphi diaphragm is made of nitrile, which is "supposed" to be more resistant to ethanol, but it's almost triple the price.
Anyone have experience with either kit? Does the regulator spring wear out enough to need replacing? It's weird that one kit includes the spring, but the other doesn't.
Also, the shop manual says not to pull apart the fuel pressure regulator due to possible leakage when putting it back together. And to replace the regulator as a whole.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
