I have an 05 Av and am having the hard start issues I have read about in other posts. When the key is turned to start the engine fails to start but always turns over the second time. lately I have been cycling the key to the on position several times and afterwords she starts every time leading me to believe I have a fuel issue.
So I used a cheap fuel gauge and tested the pressure, here is where my questions come in; when I turn the key to the on position the fuel pressure goes to about 60 then drops to zero, my guess is that this should not occur and the pressure should hold. When the vehicle is started the pressure reads around 60 and stays there. Anyway after looking into a few other posts I have found that the possible culprit is the pressure regulator and mine is attached to the pump itself inside the fuel tank. Anyways can just the pressure reg be replaced or should I just replace the whole pump entirely? Also plan on doing the floor cut method instead of dropping the tank.
