I found this in the description of the SFI fuel system on the RAVE disk:
Fuel pressure regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is located at the rear of
the engine in the fuel rail. It consists of a fuel inlet,
outlet, vacuum port and internal diaphragm.
When the engine is under high manifold depression,
the applied vacuum sucks the diaphragm of its seat,
allowing fuel to return to the tank, resulting in a lower
fuel pressure. This is necessary because the high
depression will try to suck the fuel from the injector,
resulting in overfuelling if the pressure remained
constant. Failure will result in a rich mixture at idle but
normal at full load, or a rich mixture resulting in engine
flooding, or a weak mixture. Although the fault will not
illuminate the MIL, faults caused by the failure may be
indicated.
Does the same hold true for MFI System as I am seeing this type of issue. Could overall low fuel pressure from pump also give similar symptoms?
Thanks in advance
