Just bought the car. I pulled the intake to have the injectors refurbished and to clean the 5/6 ports. Have no history on whether the FPD was ever replaced, just wondering if I should spend the $$ to replace it.

No evidence of it leaking, still has the screw in place.

Here's a couple of pics:

 

It's fine..you are good to go.

 

It actually looks fairly new imo

 

I seriously doubt if it had ever been replaced. I bought the car from the original owner and I don't think it had ever had a wrench turned in anger on it, excepting oil changes, and routine maintenance she had done at the dealer.

92k and ran like a champ; the only two issues being leaking injectors and frozen aux port valves. I should have it all back together in the coming week after receiving a box of goodies from Atkins.

When I test drove the car it blew the heater hose between the heater and the block on the driver's side, just below the oil filter, a common failure point from what I understand. I was able to pull over immediately and do a quick fix by cutting the bad part of the hose out, still leaving enough to re-attach to the block, getting some water from the nearby fire station. Had I not come along I'm sure the car would have been toast the next time the female owner drove the car, after admitting she would have just driven the car the 15-20 minutes home with the warning light on and buzzer blaring.

Thanks for your input. Guess I'll stay with the OEM FPD.
