2002 Toyota Tacoma Fuel Pressure Regulator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service and Repair a Fuel Pressure Regulator on 2002 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Service and repair operations on the Fuel Pressure Regulator start by taking off the air cleaner hose and the intake air connector assembly. Position a shop rag below the fuel pressure regulator to catch spills before disconnection of the fuel return hose from the regulator. The operation begins by removing the bolt retaining the engine wire to the LH cylinder head cover followed by disconnection of the protector from the RH cylinder head cover bracket and wire lifting. One must remove the two bolts which allows pulling out the pressure regulator before removing the O-ring. A new O-ring requires a gasoline coating before it can be installed on the pressure regulator that will attach to the LH delivery pipe. The pressure regulator needs to turn without resistance during installation but if it feels stiff the O-ring might be hurt so the procedure should start again from the regulator removal step. Use the two bolts to fasten the pressure regulator before achieving a torque of 8 N.m (80 kgf.cm, 71 in.lbf). Reinstall the engine wire using the bolt. The fuel return hose requires connection at the fuel pressure regulator while maintaining proper insertion beyond the stopper before clipping it secure. Afterward install both the intake air connector assembly and air cleaner hose before testing for fuel leaks.
