Fuel Pressure Regulator - Same thing as Fuel Pressure Sensor?
Hi guys - I'm new to working on my 2005 Volvo S60. I don't know a lot about cars, but i'm learning as I go. Tired of paying for expensive shops to take care of a job that I can figure out myself.
Just have one question...if I'm ordering a part, the "fuel pressure regulator," is that the same thing as the fuel pressure sensor/switch on the right side of my engine?
Thanks!

Clarifying "newer" versus "older"
On the newer models, the fuel pressure sensor is used to regulate the fuel pump and the regulator is used to dampen the changes in pressure level. On older models, the fuel pump is running at one level and the regulator uses the intake vacuum to dampen and retain pressure.
