Smile Oil Pressure Drop Update

When my fuel pressure gauge dropped from 53 to 30-35 I made an appointment with Ford service. My extended Warranty ends in mid July so I'am glad it happened now. Ford called to say it was a bad fuel pressure regular spring. They put in the new FPR with the blue spring. When I picked it up they said the pressure was 71 at idle and 63 open. Driving it the gauge is showing about 68 psi compare to the 53 psi with the old regulator. Happy with the pressure now and glad the blue spring is in.

If only it cost 10 cents. I would buy a couple for spares but at least it's fixed and ONLY cost me the $100 deductable. It's also good to see the pressure above 60psi.
