The Service Engine Soon light came on yesterday after my wife started the car. My code reader displayed P0001 Generic trouble code for a fuel pressure regulator open circuit.
I have read numerous entries on the Internet that all state that it is essentially a meaningless generic code and the manufacturer might have a different definition of it.
When I started the car it hesitated, and I could hear it misfire and then it ran fine. I cleared the code and the car has run fine today. Several weeks ago the car would not start after 2 attempts. On the third it started right up and ran fine. It turned over but would not fire as if it was not getting fuel. I could not find and codes.
The plugs and boots were changed 20,000 miles ago. The fuel filter has 16,000 miles on it. The IAC was replace 8,000 miles ago. I did remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator/damper and ran the motor for several minutes but did not find and odor of gasoline present. I am going to get a fuel pressure gauge and check the pressure.
Any ideas?
