Anyone with this problem........

[03DarkShadow]

I have blown 2 Fuel Rail Pressure (Fuel pulse dampner) sensors in 2 months. Anyone else w/ this problem? The 1st time it did this the car would still run but it was ROUGH!. This time it wont run at all! All fuel pressure is going right through the sensor into the vacuum line going back into intake. I ordered another one and gonna install when it comes in. Along w/ new set of plugs and blowin all the fuel thats being dumped into intake out. That will be fun. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or if anyone could help me find a cause and a fix. Thanks Jamie

When did you replace the first one? They replaced the sensor with a new version sometime in November. Is there a chance you got the older version?

Was replaced exactly 2 months ago this friday.

Hmmmm...

What mods do you have on your car? Me wonders if this could be related to the situation. I noticed you said that you are replacing it, lol, apparently the dealer isn't going to cover 'eh? ;-)

Nah i didnt feel like paying a 50 tow bill vs a 38 dollar part i can do myself! Not to mention being w/o the car for 2-3 days! And yes the dealer has covered it before and will anytime i go. Its all in who you know!

Just found out about another car running a good bit of boost who just lost his 2nd sensor.
Mine went when I was running a 6lb lower/2.93 upper and seeing 18lbs.
I've since backed down the boost to 15lbs.

Too early to tell, but there may be a connection.
BTW, my car and my friends car is a daily driver and I can't speak for him, but I have a heavy right foot.

Why not use Roadside Protection? Or... ?
