I've ordered a new regulator anyway it was only a tenner so it's worth trying. I'll see if I can get a gauge tester.
If the reg is shot would it still be rich at half to full throttle?? Airfilter is in amongst hot air in the bay? Maybe an issue Last edited by ollymk4escort; 19-07-2011 at 21:17.

my air filter is also in the engine bay.
when my first reg went, it was a pig to start when warm, kind of flooded the engine, when the second one went, the car just stank of fuel, and also kicked out dark smoke under acceleration, i got an adjustable rising rate from ebay, came with gauge, seemed to cure all my problems. well that was untill the big ends went a couple of months ago, now tis off the road till funds allow it to return, lol

fuel pressure regulaot or vacuum leaks are the only real things that can cause this.
i had an et with a shitty regulator and its fuel economy was crazy. just swap the complete rail and reg with one from someone off the foruum. its not a bad job to do does it stall at all? as if so its a vacuum/boost leak

well i have another fuel rail here from another engine but ive also got a guage coming tonight to test the pressure.
Would i put the guage between the pump and rail or after the old regulator.??

Probably just before. Are you sure that One or more of your injectors are partially stuck open? Ie bore wash. Fuel reg is the likely condidate but could also be a knackered afm
