I have a 2000 Monte Carlo SS that is having problems starting. I'm a dumbass when it comes to cars. You said that you replaced the fuel pressure regulator sensor. Where exactly is that and how much did you pay for it?

[richtazz]

The fuel pressure regulator is under the upper intake plenum just behind the throttle body on the top of the engine. they run about $40-$50

[jdw1978]

thanks, but is the regulator different than the sensor?

[richtazz]

no, there is no sensor, the regulator is what adjusts fuel pressure via engine vacuum.

It was the pressure regulator that I had to replace on my Monte. Now it starts great. I just had the shop do it, under 100 bucks including parts and labor...
