Fuel Pump Regulator on 2003 Buick Century 6 cyclinder. How much trouble is it to replace?

Easy,it's on the fuel rail,make sure that is the problem and not the pump,check fuel pressure before the regulator.











TIM..........

Yours is a bit of a pain, because it's between the upper and lower intake manifolds. May take about 4 hours unless you're fast. here is procedure from autozone.com. Let me know if you have questions.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
3. Remove the upper intake manifold assembly.
4. Disconnect the vacuum line from the pressure regulator.
5. Remove the regulator retaining screw and remove the retainer bracket. Using a clean shop cloth to catch fuel spillage, carefully pull the regulator from the fuel rail. Twist the regulator slightly while removing to ease removal. Discard the O-ring.

To install:


1. Clean all parts well. DO NOT use shop compressed air to test or clean a fuel pressure regulator. Clean the fuel pressure regulator screen, if necessary. DO NOT immerse the fuel pressure regulator in a solvent bath or it will be damaged.
2. If the filter screen has been contaminated, it should be removed and the pressure regulator replaced.
3. Lubricate a new pressure regulator O-ring with clean engine oil and install on the regulator inlet.
4. Install the fuel return pipe to the regulator.
5. Install a new retainer and spacer bracket into the slot on the fuel rail and install the pressure regulator to the fuel rail. Tighten the fuel return line nut to 13 ft. lbs. (17 Nm).
6. Connect the vacuum line to the pressure regulator and install the retainer screw. Tighten to 76 inch lbs. (8.5 Nm).
7. Inspect and verify that the retainer and spacer bracket is engaged in the slots in the fuel rail. Grasp and pull on the regulator to ensure that it is properly seated.
8. Install the upper intake manifold.
