Pontiac Repair: 1995 Pontiac Transport Van 3.1 L engine, pontiac transport, scan tool


Question
the van was acting like it was getting gas then wasn't getting gas for about a week and then it just quit while driving it and will not start. It is getting alot of gas like it is flooding. Is this a regulator for the fuel injectors? I appreciate you input.

Answer
Hi Pauline:

Yes there is a piece called a fule pressure regulator it's on the fule rail assembly by the injectors. First and formost I would check the fuel pressure on the rail. That engine needs about 45 psi to run propelry. Has any serevice engine soon light come on? If so then you need an engine scan tool and check to see what that code is and start from there. Also if it will not start You need to check for spark at the spark plugs you will need a "spark checker" it goes in the plug wires to see if there is spark to ignite the fuel in the engine. These are a few places to look at. good luck :)
