Default Quick question - What is an FPR?

What would this guy mean by this?



5) Recommend at this time to remove and replace the FPR. Remove the hose clip from the vacuum line and remove from the FPR. Pull the large clip from the FPR and using channel locks, gently twist and lift the FPR from the receptacle.



6) You may need to use a rubber mallet to tap in the FPR. It SHOULD be a tight fit (after all, we are talking about combustible substance that could cause a fire!) If you don't have a rubber mallet, use a soft piece of wood and use it to cushion the blow of a hammer. Then reseat the FPR clip and reinstall the vacuum line.


What is an FPR? and why would you have to change it?

FPR is the fuel pressure regulator. It would need to be replaced when engine is modifyed to flow more air. You would also need to replace it if it is faulty. Most likly you woull be experiencing an extreme rich or lean condition if this part fails. Not very common on these cars thou.
