| Posting here in case someone might be able to help. Replaced motor mounts and fuel filter last night, now car won't start. Plenty of fuel pressure at the filter outlet. I removed the short fuel line elbow between the rail and the pressure regulator-no fuel here. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated! |

Pressure at the regulator inlet? If so, bad regulator is my guess. Is the vacuum line connected to the regulator?

| Line is connected. Not sure if the regulator is at the inlet or outlet of the circuit, kinda new to this engine. Car ran great prior to the mounts being replaced and fresh filter.... |

It turns out when lifting the engine to replace the motor mounts, the back of the engine dislodged one of the connectors on the firewall, looks like the injector connection. All better now  |
