Had same problem. Caddy changed out the fuel pressure regulator for $170 but
that wasnt it. Could have done it myself for $57 and 10 minutes time. Caddy
says the regulator diagpham goes bad and fuel bleeds back to tank. After
caddy told me it was the fuel pump and would cost $800. I bought the
pump for about $250 from NAPA and installed it myself in about an hour and
car runs great and more pickup. No more hard starts.
