I need some help with this one!

86 N/A

Ive got fuel pressure running all the way to the fuel pressure regulator but it stops there.... so... I need to know how i can fix this or how the regulator works.

Ive removed the regulator and the valve is shut. Is it supposed to be shut at all times and then as vac. is applied it, it opens?? or what? if so could i bypass the solonoid that controls this?? cuz that might be the problem. or could my fuel filter be cloged and not allowing enough fuel pressure to open the regulator?

Very confused anyhelp would be good.
Thanks
Scot

 

or should I get a new regulator?
