Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone can give me general advice on troubleshooting an FPR, it's on the 3.0 '88 voyager, but imagine it's pretty similar to other mopar apps.
Don't have a fuel pressure gauge unfortunately.
Symptoms, van seems to be both running too rich at times and also knocking at others (possible carbon knock and going lean, improved with midgrade instead of 87 octane) get a gassy smell, have occasional bizarre vacuum system behaviour but can't find a leak. Getting some wierder than normal noises at startup, like there's a little bit of gas got in somewhere, but oil doesn't seem drastically thinned to the feel, and noises stop after a few seconds. Gas mileage is down 2-3mpg. Injector cleaner doesn't seem to have helped.
So been getting the idea that the FPR might be goosed or slightly leaky. All these symptoms have been somewhat vague, erratic and hard to put a finger on, but seem to be slowly mounting up.
Any thoughts?
