How to: Change fuel pressure regulator *extended cranking fix

robj80 · Jan 27, 2012

While this technically is against the rules since I didn't write this how to. Nor is this even a complete how to I feel this information is necessary to Versa owners and should be on here. When someone actually does a how to for the fuel pump or pressure regulator I will modify this thread.

I did the repair today! Here's the video diy I did. Might help some people out, since the service bulliten only covers how to swap the part, and not how to remove the pump and whatnot.

Great Video... Thanks for taking the time and putting it together. From the video,I see that the metal ring is a real problem to remove. Would you recommend using a pair of vice grips and bending the bent tabs as much in a vertical position? Not sure if this will damage them. Then on the re-install, set the ring 50 percent and then curl over the tabs with the hammer and screw driver. Then finish the rotation of the tabs with the screw driver and hammer. What are your thoughts? I have not done the install, so I have no real hands on.

Great vid and how-to tutorial. With me owning a 2011, I'm hoping Nissan fixed this issue. BTW, what's up with the orange red colored nail polish on your thumbs? :woot:

Where did you get the replacement FPR? I have searched on line for an aftermarket part but no luck so far. I am reluctant to buy the Nissan part 'cause they made the faulty one in the first place.
