Lightbulb Re: Attempts stall, Idle Pulses 600-800 rpms, horrible MPG

Oh and here is my thinking on the FPR. I kept asking "What happens in the van when the rad fans cut-off." Well, without looking in a manual it comes to mind that one of the things that MUST be happening is a very subtle change in fuel pressure from a lil higher to a lil lower. If the material inside the FPR melted a little when my engine overheated for so long a period back in October then perhaps subtle fuel pressure changes/management are no longer possible within spec. I DID smell a FAINT HINT of fuel when I pulled the vac line off the FPR and sniffed the FPR spout that one time. I'll do the pressure testing before replacing it and see what up.

Here's the procedure I'll use to the best of my ability: http://www.2carpros.com/car_repair_v...n_pressure.htm - Good video.
