SOURCE: Where is the fuel pressure regulator located at in a 94 bravada

My friend, I suggest you go by your local Auto Parts Store and purchase a Haynes Repair Manual on this vehicle. There are many sensors and electronic controls involved with this engine as I'm sure you already know. Any one of these can memic something that "it is not".
If your problem is the Pressure Regulator, it is located inside the "Tunnel Ram" intake manifold along with the multiport fuel injection system.
Now,,, before I went through the trouble and expense of going into the Intake Manifold, I would run the EMC in Diagnostic Mode and see if there are any codes present.

SOURCE: fuel pressure regulator had no vacuum line connected

another engineers wet dream. think of it this way . what is normally in the intake when the engine is running.. answer vacume, hence the regulator gets its vacume without a hose connected to it as its already in a full time vacume chamber.no hose required . ps be carefull to seat the regulator and o rings securely into the housing befor you reattach the secureing metal clip.
good luck chris

SOURCE: fuel pressure regulator

Two places to look...if you have separate injectors for each cylinder then regulator should be at the front end of the fuel rail. If you have throttle body injection it is on the throttle body itself.

Where is the fuel pressure regulator located on a 2014 Chevrolet Impala 4 cylinder

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu with the L4-2.5L engine does not have a 'typical' fuel pressure regulator. This vehicle has a fuel regulator valve (same function, just 'smarter' than a regulator). The pressure relief regulator valve replaces the typical fuel pressure regulator used on a mechanical returnless fuel system. Output drivers in the ECM provide the pump control circuit with a 12?V pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal, which regulates fuel pressure by closing and opening the control valve at specific times during pump strokes. On this vehicle, the regulator valve is built into and part of the high-pressure fuel pump. The high-pressure fuel pump is located on the rear, driver's side of the engine. For an image location view, click here: https://bit.ly/3mgrSAv. Before replacement, make sure to inspect the electrical connector and wire harness for any loose, broken or damaged wires. And the rubber lines for any cracks, holes or disconnections

Where is the fuel pressure regulator located on a 1988 Dodge B-150 van, 5.2 liter? I've been told it's on the fuel rail. Where is the fuel rail?

If you have throttle-body fuel injection, you don't have a fuel rail. The fuel pressure regulator should be mounted to throttle body.

Where is location of fuel volume regulator

Fuel pressure regulator ! An it's location is inside the fuel tank .
The fuel pump (FP) module contains the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and the fuel sender assembly. The fuel pressure regulator is attached to the fuel pump in the fuel pump module located in the fuel tank. It regulates fuel pressure supplied to the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief valve. Fuel pressure is established by a spring preload applied to the diaphragm. Excess fuel is bypassed through the regulator and returned to the fuel tank.

I need to know where the fuel pressure sensor is located on the 2000 chevy express van.

There is not really a fuel pressure sensor. There is a fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pump pumps up pressure and the pressure regulator allows the fuel to return to the fuel tank if the pressure reaches 37psi in the 4.6 liter. It is located on the intake manifold. It is round about 3 inches in diameter, and has a fuel line on both sides of it.

Where is the location of the fuel regulator valve

If you mean your fuel pressure regulator. It's located on the CSEFI injector assembly, the regulator is located under the air intake plenum on the back of the fuel meter body.
If the regulator is bad it may cause either a drop in fuel pressure or an increase in fuel pressure at the rail . A drop in fuel pressure, if severe enough, can cause bad or no idle condition, engine starving for fuel and etc.

If the regulator is causing excessive pressure it can cause fouled plugs, black smoke from exhaust and rough engine performance.
Before you change the regulator check for cracked, rotted or disconnected vacuum hose.

Also you can connect a fuel pressure gauge to the schrader valve on the rail and monitor the pressure to see if it is in specifications, or to see if the fuel pressure drops rapidly after engine shutdown.

Hope this helps and good luck with your project. Thank you for using Fixya

Where is the fuel regulator located on a 1988 tbi

Sits inside the throttle body, you would have to open to install regulator. Also check your fuel filter make sure it's not clog, fuel filter is under truck on fram rail, while your there do a fuel pressure test, with a fuel pressure tester, should have 13psi.
