Title: Fuel pressure regulator ESPACE J7R
Post by: Jurzi on February 17, 2005, 10:26:01 am
Hello to all. I just found this site and am also glad that there still are people that want to buy and keep Espace-cars, even though at least my car has been quite troublesome. I have several times wanted to change to e.g. Previa but always I have found my present car excellent in many ways (Espace Quadra TXE 1990 385000 km, J7R, J116, 120 HP).

Motor is still quite good but now I think there is lack of power in low speed acceleration and the fuel consumption is higher than before. I think the fuel pressure regulator (I'm not an expert though) could cause these symptons. Can anybody tell me where this regulator locates in my car? A photo would help?

The pressure regulator sits in the middle of the inlet manifold, but it's probably not that, it seldomly fails. If it looses power, it's probably some mixture problem which may be caused by any sensor fault. A full diagnose would be necessary.
