If there is no fuel coming from FPR could it still be the problem?

What is your question?

I was told that I had FPR problems and to pull the vacuum line off of it to see if there was any fuel coming from it. I could see no fuel. What next?

WHAT is the original issue? running rich? Low pressure? Hard start? Do you have test equipment?(pressure gauge & adapter)?....WELL , now after all that typing , I just saw your other post , .....Is the smoke black , blue or white? UNLESS guessing at a map sensor (and it not solving the problem) is less expensive than a small diagnostic fee , make sure you can PROVE the failed component first...?

My car is hard starting. Has Rough idle and smoke coming from exhaust. Sometimes I have to push the throttle down a bit to get it to start.

Pull vacuum line off FPR....Let engine run for 15 minuets while watching for fuel to come out of the regulators vac port! IF none, that's not the trouble.... Scan test needed!... As stated... Get it checked out!!

Me three!!... Hell, I just remember seeing that test on YouTube sometime back!... Think it was on a Pontiac also.... Would be helpful to know a little bit more about the problem... Like WHAT COLOR IS THE D... SMOKE?????

The smoke is black I think. Could be bluish gray. LOL!

Well that's a big help!!! ... Check the FPR as that can cause this, however it's not the only thing... Oh btw, 'black' smoke is rich exhaust... Too much fuel!
