When the tank was cleaned, did you pull the filter screen out of the
bottom of the tank and clean or replace it. Where the fuel line comes
out of the bottom of the tank, there is a fine mesh screen.
The fuel pressure regulator on a FI car is under the RH intake runners.
The pressure should be 28-32 psi. There is a place to connect a pressure
gage between the #3 & 4 injectors.
