Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement

[ericv1984]

I'm gonna head down to O'reilly soon to get a new fuel pressure regulator. I know I need to relieve the pressure before replacing it, but after I take the old one off, any fuel left in the fuel rail will spill out. I'm gonna use a cup or something to catch any that spills, but if any gets spilt on the engine, what can I use to clean it off?

Ok thanks. It's so close to the ignition so I wanted to make sure my car wasn't going to blow up when I start it lol.

Installed the new regulator, car runs and idles good most of the time but still takes around 7 seconds to crank. Picked my fiance up from babysitting, turned on the car to pull out of my parking spot and the car stalled. Went to turn it back on, stalled again, then it came back on but sounded like it wanted to die. Drove around the street for a bit and the car started running good.

Here's a video of it taking a while to start...

It takes that long to crank when the engine is warmed up. Takes about twice as long as when the engine is cold.
