2007 Toyota Solara Fuel Pressure Regulator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel pressure regulator on 2007 Toyota Solara?

  A: The initial step for repairing the fuel pressure regulator involves draining fuel system pressure. Either a Coupe or Convertible requires the removal of its rear seat cushion assembly before removing the rear floor service hole cover and disconnecting the fuel pump connector. Start by taking out the tube joint clip before pulling the fuel pump tube from its sub-assembly while taking caution not to let dirt access the fuel tube joint. Remove the fuel tank vent tube set plate through 8 bolt removal before disconnecting the fuel suction tube assembly with pump and gauge while protecting the fuel pump filter and the sender gauge arm from damage. First disconnect the sender gauge connector before unlocking the gauge unit for sliding removal. The procedure to remove the fuel suction plate sub-assembly requires needle nozzle pliers to strip out the E-ring while unscrewing the fuel No. 1 suction support claws and extracting the spring. The procedure requires a complete removal of the fuel pump by disconnecting its harness and carefully releasing the 5 claws while pulling it out. This step should not involve damaging any components including the fuel pump filter or suction filter. First take out the fuel pump O-ring followed by using a screwdriver with protective tape to remove the fuel pressure regulator assembly before handling its two O-rings. Place a modest gasoline layer onto two new O-rings before adding them to the fuel pressure regulator for installation on the fuel filter. First put gasoline on a fresh O-ring for the fuel pump then secure the fuel pump harness while using the 5 claws to connect the fuel pump with the pump filter. Follow these steps to reconnect the fuel pump harness to the fuel suction plate while adding the fuel No. 1 suction support and securing it with the fuel suction plate sub-assembly by engaging its claws with its spring. Place a new E-ring before inserting the fuel sender gauge properly while connecting its connector to it. After applying a new gasket on the fuel suction tube you should place the tube in position without hurting the fuel pump filter or the sender gauge arm. Secure the fuel suction tube to the fuel tank vent tube set plate through alignment of the mark using 8 bolts tightened to 5.9 N.m (60 kgf.cm, 52 in.lbf). The fuel pump tube sub-assembly must receive attention to eliminate foreign particles and verify the complete insertion of tube joints alongside proper placement of tube joint clips. Install new butyl tape onto the rear floor service hole cover before putting back the rear seat cushion assembly of either Coupe or Convertible.
