Re: How my dead 4kq came back to life beside the highway

Yes!!
This is called the Differential pressure regulator in the Bentley...
I had a lot of problems with my coupe's starting and replaced this part

Definately worth a check....
be careful when removing these it does store fuel pressure and there
are two small o-rings on there!

HTH!
