2002 Chevrolet Venture Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel pressure regulator on 2002 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: Service of the Fuel Pressure Regulator requires the complete relief of fuel system pressure earlier. Open the connection of Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line followed by removing the retaining screw. A shop towel should be used to soak up fuel drips before twisting the Fuel Pressure Regulator apart from the Fuel Rail by lifting it. First remove the retainer along with the spacer bracket from the rail before separating the Fuel Pressure Regulator from the engine fuel return pipe and discarding the inlet o-ring. Ensure that you attach the fuel return line ahead of regulator installation to stop rotation because this motion could harm both the retainer and spacer bracket and produce a fuel leak. The use of compressed air for Fuel Pressure Regulator testing and cleaning should be avoided to prevent damage since the filter screen requires gasoline for cleaning along with abstaining from solvent immersion. The filter screen requires examination for contaminants before you decide to replace the contaminated Fuel Pressure Regulator. Apply clean engine oil on the new pressure regulator inlet o-ring before installing it properly into the regulator inlet port. First apply the fuel return pipe to the regulator before inserting the new retainer and spacer bracket into its slot on the Fuel Rail. Connect the Fuel Rail pressure regulator followed by a proper torque of 17 n.m (13 lb ft) to the engine fuel return pipe nut. Secure the Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line through its attaching screw and tighten it to 8.5 n.m (76 lb in). Pull on the regulator to make sure the retainer along with the spacer bracket fits into the slots found in the Fuel Rail. The next step entails checking for leaks by switching the ignition on then off for 10 seconds and finally checking leaks before starting the engine.
