Finally a true VX'er

[JHarris1385]

Yeah I pulled pretty hard but not to the point where I was afraid i would damge something, then stopped and thought there has got to be an easier way, (ill make a thread about it.) When i meant tilt of the chair I didnt not mean recline i meant the tilt of the actual seat (Ldub.) I love this thing.

Favorit comment so far......a guy around 40 came up to me in a parking lot, and said "excuse me sorry to bother you but what is that thing, I have a hot wheel of it and never new they really made them, that thing is awesome."

So would a fuel pump regulator cure my starting problem and quite dying while stopped? How hard is this to do yourself? I basically am only comfrotable with oil changes so far but im up for learning. Please help......

theres a thread started when i got my VX.. talks about slow starting.. i still havent replaced it, problem went away when summer brought some nice weather, but i had my first experience with the vx just dying on me a few days ago, so ill be starting with replacing the FPR, i ordered it awhile back.. just sittin on the shelf waiting to be put in

How hard is it to replace?

[etlsport]

its not bad at all, all i had to do was reach down behing the cladding in the general area of the light, and i found it, and you twist it a quarter turn and it pulls right out

wait is for the Fuel Pump Regulator?

sorry, i got mixed up between the two threads.. if you look in that posting i linked to, Tone gives a simple discription of how to do it, seeps straight forward, looks like it just unplugs, plugs in and clamps in with a retaining ring

Fuel pressure regulator is located on the fuel rail (which supplies the injectors w/fuel) on the drivers side of the engine.
Take off the plastic cover on top of the engine, find the fuel rail, trace it to the rear of the engine on the drivers side. The fuel pressure reg. sits in a cup(about 1-3/16" diam.), held in place by a snap-ring & has vacuum hose connected to it on top & a fuel line coming out of the bottom.
You would have to remove the vac. line, then the snap ring (inner), then the innards of the FPR...Re-assemble w/ new innards in reverse order.
