Cat not starting in mornings Reply #16 – October 16, 2007, 09:06:12 PM That engine has a fuel pressure regulator? Quote Selected
Cat not starting in mornings Reply #17 – October 16, 2007, 09:22:35 PM The regulator on the CFI unit in on the TB itself. There is no hose going to it. If he only had 10 psi of pressure, it's either the regulator or the HP inline pump. The regulator is the cheaper and easier thing to replace first. Quote Selected

Cat not starting in mornings Reply #19 – October 17, 2007, 11:15:21 AM yessir im only getting 10 psi per my pressure checker. but the gauge bleeds down real quick with the key on.I shall look into the regulator, its old anyways. Quote Selected
Cat not starting in mornings Reply #20 – October 17, 2007, 12:13:47 PM Probably the regulator. I had the same problem, although mine was caused by some junk jamming the check valve open.You can verify whether it is the FPR or the FP itself by installing a fitting with a cap in it on the return side of the CFI unit. If pressure holds, you know it is the FPR, if pressure still drops, you know it is the FP. Quote Selected

Cat not starting in mornings Reply #24 – October 18, 2007, 05:37:45 PM Cool. Did you happen to recheck the pressure to see what it was and if it held? Quote Selected
