must find a way to get home without fuel regulator:100Q

[Larry C Leung]

Current to the FPR only warms up the FPR faster than 
the block would. Would tend to run richer for longer
if the electrical part didn't work or was unplugged. If
the mechanical pressure regulation is faulty, nothing you
do to the electrical part will help. Dealing with this on
my 200Q, but it's not the same P/N as a N/A 2.3.
