<x-charset iso-8859-1>Okay, so the tank has been totally cleaned. New filter in place. Get it on the road. Short drives were good, had it on the freeway last night, had a little bump now and then at high RPMs. Today, got it on the freeway, the bump turned into sputtering and missing. Got it home, and changed the filter again thinking maybe some left over trash made it's way in. A little bit of discoloration, but nothing major. Anyway, on startup now it is missing right off. The fuel pump is the correct model and only 6 months old according to the PO. The fuel that ran out of the pump on the original disconnect was pretty clean so I don't believe a lot of trash got in it. Getting to the point, here's my question. At $300 I am not real thrilled about getting the pump to see if that is the issue. I would like to know A) where the fuel pressure regulator is B) adjustment techniques for it (maybe equipment required) and C) does anyone else have any suggestions on where else to look for this problem? As a bit more of background, it did this before I cleaned the tank. It would miss and act up after it was taken to open throttle for a while. Letting it sit for a few hours would allow it to run smooth again, starting the process over. It was that way until earlier today... not is misses from the start up. Any ideas would really really be appreciated.
