  • Hard Start

    My car has been hard to start for the past couple of months. Originally I thought it was an old battery, but recently after start up it smells of gas in and around my car for a few seconds. Also the engine just does not sound right and I am getting a small back fire every now and then. Through some searches here I think it is the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Before I replace it though I would like to know if there is any way to be certain that it is the regualtor and if there is anything else that it could be?

    yup sounds like the FPR, it could be spark plugs and wires too

        It could be running rich, if you smell gas. have you had your battery tested? Autozone will do it for free.
