fuel pressure regulater

[wilson]

My honda civic gx 2000 only starts if 1st injector is unplugged and if it is plugged back on the car stops running.If the 2nd injector is unplugged the car wont start.fuel pressure regulater reads 659kPa and will not go below
400kPa on adjustment.I have been advised to change the regulater but before I proceed I would like to have some more opinions.The car had been sitting for maybe over a year and has only 30000 miles.

Check closely that a high pressure regulator is what you need; the cost of the regulator alone is close to $1800.00

I have never even seen one of these but had a gasoline chevy with a 2.8 I think and it did the same thing and the injecter had a short in it and would suck all the power from computer like to have never found it just a thought to try and cheaper part good luck cowboy

I agree with Cowboy. Ohm out your injectors to see if they are shorted. Approx 12 ohms is typical on gasoline injectors. I don't know what the resistance would be on a GX, but all 4 should be approximately equal.

I woke up last night and got to thinking about this change the #1 injector with witch ever other that is the easyest to get to than see if you have to unplug #1 or the other one if it is still #1 than this is not your problem if it is the other go buy a new one and put it in let me know good luck
