hey Chris you should do a video on how to replace the fuel filter. I need
to do it to the mustang and the trans am I just bought

Alexander Olah says:

I have a 2002 Yukon 5.3 with an intermittent hard start mostly when its
cold it will take like 3-4 seconds longer of cranking for it to start. It
idles and runs perfectly just every so often it takes a little longer to
start. It has a newer fuel pump around a year old or so. I did notice that
I am getting a strange noise from the FPR similar to this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1bgiJVoNOc I Also pulled the vacuum line
to see if it was leaking but did not see any fuel coming out of it. I am
tempted to buy a new FPR but don’t want to spend 50 if it isn’t the issue.
Anyone have any similar experiences or advice?
Thanks

Nice job Bro…Most do the same on my 96 Caprice 9 C 1……She never
starts on a cold engine. Most start it twice until enough gas gets into the
system. Again…Nice Job……

. Nice job and keep it that way !!

TVBlizard says:

Thanks. Your video has been very helpful. I had the same problem on my 96
pontiac trans am.

Brandon Herrera says:

Chris, I pulled the vacuum of the FPR on my ’93 C4, and it has a gas smell
to it. Do I need to replace the FPR?

Nice video, such easy access to the fpr. Its a pain in the ass with a
camaro

great, precise instructional video manual!

I still don’t understand why gm has threads on one end but they used a clip
& not a threaded line. Just more confusion. I watched your video because I
didn’t know how to take that off. I see. Its just GM doing the same ol
stupid $hit.

Trendyrapslut says:

cool this is exactly what I need to do to my vette! now do I need that
gauge to release the fuel pressure or can I get away with it by relieving
it into a cup or something?
thanks!

jason williams says:

A better way to relieve the fuel pressure is to remover the fuel pump relay
and turn the vehicle over a few times until all the fuel in the lines has
been used. That will reduce the amount of fuel that comes out when you
remove the regulator from the rail.

Hey maybe you can do a video on how to replace the power steering fluid. I
know that would be a great help to some people out there. Unless you
already got one. But I did mine this morning. Took me about an hr, to do
and like 5 different videos. I like yours because you are very detailed
into what needs to be done. 

emmanuel sabah says:

i love watching your videos man just started watching them good job keep it
up big fan now nohomo 

Jess Boudrie says:

I’m going to be doing this on my wife’s Buick Rendezvous in a few minutes.
Thanks +YouTube 

Mr4fabio2 says:

really wish you could have showed everything till the end. the adding
process would have been a great help also.

Thanks for the guide. I used it to fix my long and rough start issue and to
fix my hesitation issue. My vette still has hesitation when going through
the gears, but it cranks up like a champ now. My next attempt to fix the
hesitation is to change the fuel injectors, so if you got a guide on that
it would be greatly appreciated.

Great video and beautiful Vette!!!!

wjg says:

Hmmmmmmmmm, wonder if that’s what’s wrong with my 95 Roadmaster. It only
starts fast when you try within 2-3 minutes of turning off. Otherwise, it
takes 5-7 seconds of cranking. Already changed the optispark, wires,
plugs, and fuel pump. 

Robert Cowan says:

Mine leaks in the cold weather, too. Once the engine warms up it’s fine.
I have the regulator on order since it’s special order…of course. Great
vid!
