Re: 1999 Lumina 3.8L Starting/Idling/Running problems

Hello!

I would check the fuel pressure regulator. It is located on the fuel rail. It is round, about a quarter size and has a vacuum line going to it. If the regulator is leaking gas than it can cause this problem. Pull off the vacuum line that goes to the regulator. Be absolutely sure there is no gas in the vacuum line. If there is, the diaphram has ruptured and there is gas entering the engine that is not accounted for and the regulator will need to be replaced! also make Shure the vacuum hose is good ,as for rpm it racing up and down check the IAC valve for proper operation
