dunno, havent checked it. but, it doesnt throw any codes, and it doesnt smoke at all.
there is a vacuum line coming off of the FPR though. if i unplug that, should it change the way the car runs? i did, and it didnt. and that would make sense if it was the problem.

02'* go bad but don't throw codes till they're WAY past gone. no smoke doesn't mean anythin either. Swap it out.

UPDATE: found the adapter to our Fuel pressure gauge. pressure is within specs, FPR operating normally. there is no leaks in the pressurized system, because it holds pressure when it is shut off.
so, there is either a leak in the fuel return line, or there is an o2 sensor bad. anybody care to add anyother possibilities?
