Common problem for decades....Ive advised hundreds of G1 owners over the years they have to 'prime' the key several times to build pressure to start the car. Otherwise it cranks and cranks, zero oil pressure, bad for engine. A Failed oem fuel pressure regulator on the top of the fuel pump is to blame.

Hard starting is because this regulator fails and allows the fuel to run back into the tank after car is turned off. NO pressure regulators or parts were available past 12+ years.....Until Now !


PartsRack as come across a small supply of the OE G 1 pressure regulators that install right into the OE fuel pump module. "Drop In" part. But it is a large job to replace.

If you have been annoyed by this 'priming to start' issue, we can help a handful of G1 owners....even if you dont install it right away, nice to have to maintain resale value if car has this issue.
