How difficult?.. Replacing fuel press.regulator
I posted about stalling prob with my 84........I think I found the culprit to be the fuel pressure regulator because it seems to be running rich , I get black smoke and fuel odor but no ses code?? Do you guys have some advice on replacing it I bought new regulators and rebuild kits for my TBI's. I just wanted to ask if it's a pretty involved process....Thanks....JJ

Sorry I only do TPI, but a GM Shop Manual would be your friend and worth the $$. With flat rates of $65/hr and up it doesn't take long to pay back on a $90 book set.

The pressure regulator is integral with the rear throttle body assy. The overhaul kit will service it. I am concerned by your statement that you bought, "new regulators", as explained above, there is no separate regulator, like in a TPI car. The front TB has an accumulator that is similar in appearence to the regulator. The parts to repair each of these is a part of the TB rebuild kit you bought. I hope you didn't get "taken" buying (a) regulator(s) that you don't need.
Rebuilding the TBs on a crossfire engine is like a carb rebuild, only easier. The kit should have directions. If not see a service manual. Good luck.

Like 65Z01 said, I could help you out with a TPI but not a Crossfire. :nonod:

...Hmmm...
If it was a TPI (say an '86!), would the fuel rails or the top plenum have to be removed to get it in???
(Sorry for the off-year, 84hyprvette, but at least it gets it back to the top!) :yesnod:
