Hi CVC please explain what you mean by “a few spits of gas come out of the nipple”?
If any fuel comes out of the vacuum nipple, on the fuel regulator, the regulator is bad and must be replaced.
Delco part #217-1422

well...
if you pull the line off when not running after sitting,no gas comes out,but if you leave it running and pull the line off after the car idles for about 15 seconds gas lightly spits out of the nipple again only after about 15 seconds..

hummm...
does anyone know what years are in the recall ?? Will it hurt to drive like this until they can fix it ??Should I just bite the bullet and fix it myself ? I also broke the vaccuum line but used a pc of plastic line to repair it will this be ok ? It doesn't have to be gas impervious ?? The line that broke was a small dia hard plastic line I replacedit with a similar line but not sure if its gas impervious maybe the orignal wasn't either ????
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

The line does not have to be gas impervious as it is a vacuum line not a gas line. Driving it like that will only hurt your hot starts and your fuel milage. Both will get worse as the FPR gets worse and leaks more.

When I get home, I can break out my Factory Service Manuals and give you the factory test instructions.
