Important: Three styles of fuel pressure regulators and fuel rails will be used in this model year. Each regulator has a different footprint that consequently changes the size of the receiving port on the fuel rail. The regulator retaining clips are specific to each rail-regulator design and cannot be interchanged.

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief .
2. Disconnect the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line.
3. Clean any dirt from the fuel pressure regulator retainer and the surrounding area.
4. Remove the fuel pressure regulator retainer (8).
5. Remove the fuel pressure regulator (9).
6. Ensure none of the following parts are still in the fuel rail:

•	Backup ring (10)

•	Regulator seal O-ring (11)

•	Regulator filter (12)

•	Regulator seal O-ring (13)

1. Ensure that the NEW fuel pressure regulator retainer is the correct one.
2. The tabs (1) are used on the straight vacuum port retainer (2), and the E85 straight vacuum port retainer (3).
3. The angle vacuum port retainer (4) has no tabs.



4. Install the following parts onto the fuel pressure regulator (9), if necessary:

•	Backup ring (10)

•	Regulator seal O-ring (11)

•	Regulator filter (12)
