Dear sir, the fpr has squat to do with the fuel flowing thru the rail.

Nah. I didn't write that, did I?? I think your fuel hoses are on **** backwards. Nornaly the fpr will regulate fuel pressure, but only b/t approx 28 to a max of approx 50 (something you'll never see on your n/a).

The only time I ever saw a fpr cause no fuel flow.....was when I tried to use the burnt up one that came with my first turbo car. Things kinda melted inside and restricted the flow to zero.

Just swap the fuel hoses and see what happens. It cost you nothing but fifteen minutes of your time.

I bet I just beat fifteen other people who were about to write......fuel lines crossed.

Re: fpr problems

You have connected the fuel lines the wrong way around. The supply line from the filter goes to the primary rail (with the pulsation damper) and the return line goes to the secondary rail (with the fuel pressure regulator).

are the primaries the top injectors because that is what the fpr is on and the pulsation dampener is on the bottom rail and i have the feed line going to the top rail and the return line coming from the bottom rail... is this right or am i wrong?

No, the small rail bolted to the engine is the primary rail, the long one bolted to the manifold is the secondary rail.

Go to www.iluvmyrx7.com and download the Factory Service Manual in PDF format for free. All the info you need on this is in there.
