I'm having cold start issues. It takes a bit longer to start the car than usual in the morning, noticed it starting to happen during the colder days, but it runs fine afterward. I know that there is a strong gas smell in my vacuum line that is connected to the fuel pressure regulator, does that mean its bad? .

Can i use a Fpr from a GMC Syclone? They look exactly the same, and its cheaper by about $20. Does it flow more than our stock one?

 

Try keeping the vaccum line disconnected but endplugged for one night and see if you get normal start next morning.

"I know that there is a strong gas smell in my vacuum line that is connected to the fuel pressure regulator, does that mean its bad?" - might be due to a leak in the regulator resulting in excess gas fed into the engine through vaccum line.

 

the only thing is that there is no liquid fuel leak in the line, just the smell is present.

 

If you smell gas in the vacuum line then it might be bad.

 

FYR.
