ptcfast2 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have any tips for removing the FPR from the 3100's fuel rail & fuel line? I need to swap my old L82 one out for the correct version for my LG8 as I'm still running my L82's injectors/FPR. I plan on doing the FPR and EV6 injector swap from my current EV1s when I do this. Tips, correct tools, etc... would be appreciated. The manuals I have aren't particularly helpful and the part seems a bit fragile...afraid I'll break something.

AWeb80 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm not even sure you can separate it.....I think it's all one piece...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcfast2 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm not even sure you can separate it.....I think it's all one piece...? It's a separate piece. I've read you can change it out without having to remove the upper intake...or you must remove the upper intake to change it. So I'm semi confused.

You don't need to remove the upper intake. You will need #40 Torx bit, 5/16 in open wrench and adjustable wrench. Release the fuel pressure. Loosen the nut of the fuel line with the open wrench while holding the old regulator with the adjustable wrench stationary. Undo the Torx screw and remove the regulator. Lubricate the O-ring of the new regulator before assembly. It took me 10 min to replace this thing on my 3100 SFI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go4DaMo Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 will the 3100 regulator fit my 3.1? I have a donor 1997 Lumina and am looking to replace the regulator in my parent's 92 3.1. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
