Nissan truck vg30e fuel pressure regulator location?
Hi, I've checked the stupid Haynes manual with no success and checked
all over for my fuel pressure regulator on my '96 Nissan 4x4 pickup with vg30e (3L v6) engine. Can anyone tell me where it is roughly before I start taking things apart? My truck is getting horrible fuel mileage (350km to the tank, should be 500km) and there is carbon building up in the exhaust so I'm pretty sure it's running rich. Changed the oxygen sensor which got rid of the check engine light, but that is merely a symptom I think, not the cause. Just need to check the fuel pressure now, but can't find the pressure regulator anywhere near the fuel rails so I can unhook the vacuum to it. Anyone with a Maxima with the same engine can respond too as it's probably in the same place on that car. Thanks, Victor |

I belive there is one all the way in the back down behind the engine. That may go to the regulator. Post on alt.autos.nissan, there is a good Nissan tech in there. -- Rob Munach, PE Excel Engineering PO Box 1264 Carrboro, NC 27510 |

Autozone.com, 1996 Nissan Maxima (since they don't list a 1996 truck).... http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...3d801f5181.jsp "The pressure regulator is always located on the fuel return side of the fuel injection rail and is attached to the right rear of the fuel rail assembly, at the right rear corner of the intake manifold." http://www.autozone.com/images/cds/j...3d801f5182.jpg |

If they don't list the '96 truck, look for the previous generation Maxima (pre-'95) or the Quest. |
