Just did mine too. This is the long side, and its "spacer/retainer". Can not confirm if there is one on the short side.

I don't remember if I posted these...

OK I've seen this...Living in Seattle it rains for months on end, and the RR sits outside and for long periods. So this water coming thru the fan vents was absolutely unacceptable. It sounds like yours is just as bad as mine was and if so.. then the issue will be many things. Unfortunately, only...

Its both. And completely randomly. I believe when I get a no start condition it is because there is air in the line. And the air needs to cycle out before I can get it running normal. My theory is that when I get the stumbling to start condition it is because little smaller pockets of air. Just...

So I can start the vehicle immediately after I shut it off. Or even immediately after a long time sitting.. If I only used it for driving around town I wouldn't care and I would let whatever part it is to completely fail or leave me stranded. But I use my rover for at least 80% off-road use...

GEMS 4.6

Oh trust me I know..Im in deep..at this point 9 out of 10 of us are upside down in this "investment". You gotta be in it for the love of the vehicle.. I just live with the quirks of the EAS system now. I try not to track down every single oddity. Still worth it to me personally. Definitely...

Nice read. I say if you can weld...lift it. If you cannot.. Fuhgettaboutit... Just like Henry B posted. EAS is what makes the P38 special. Ive had every single person to get in my rig off-road compliment on how supple the ride is over very rocky and torturous terrain. That has never happened...

One thing for sure is that I cannot use my Rover for what it is intended for in this condition. There’s no way I’m driving more than 10miles away from my house let alone the normal 20-30 miles into the woods that I usually travel.

So unless someone can confirm that the FPR( which is a $100 part) is at fault for not keeping the fuel line full after the engine has been shutdown.. Iam going to have to follow my logic and install a one way valve. Which is a $5 gamble vs a $100 one.. And if that doesn’t work then I guess I’ll...

Yup that’s how I understand it. The FPR requires vacuum to do what it’s designed to do. It’s just that a well known member suggested that my issue was the FPR, but mine doesn’t show any signs of failure and it’s working exactly as I understand it should. So I’ve been searching endlessly for the...

Can anyone confirm if the fuel pressure regulator's purpose is also to be a one way valve when the engine is NOT supplying vacuum? I cant find anything in the RAVE that suggests that there is a replaceable one way valve anywhere in the fuel system or that the FPR does that with no vacuum...

In the morning tomorrow I will do some more hands on testing. Also take another good look at the rave. Have a good day everyone. I appreciate all your suggestions.

Thanks for the reply. Its like the guy says in the first couple seconds of the video. He says its been a couple hours and went to the store to get spark plugs and he still has fuel pressure. Mine goes to zero in about 3 seconds when I take the key out.

I mean if I can determine it is the FPR that is faulty then I would gladly change that out. Nothing I hate more than just throwing money at a problem and hoping it works. But as far as I can tell it’s working to maintain pressure (36 PSI) when I rev the engine and at idle. While normal driving...

Everything tells me it’s a leak back problem. I get full pressure with the key on but engine off.Then when the key is off the pressure goes with it. Also since the fuel pressure regulator only regulates while under vacuum; is that correct? Or does it also act like a check valve with no vacuum...

So what part regulates the 36psi fuel pressure with key in the accessory position? Pretty much I need to change that out...

No nanocoms.Sorry. I have RSW software though and it doesn't show any faults. I do have a weird ABS fault "no voltage at ecu pin1 with ignition on". And the ABS works just fine and no error lights on the dash.

So putting in a check valve would cause additional issues then huh? My fuel pump does what it supposed to do and primes to operating pressure with the key in the accessory position. Its just that after I turn the engine or key to off, the pressure drops to zero in a couple seconds. It definitely...

CPS was changed about a year or so ago. So Im hoping its not that. But it could be
