Howdy Eric,
Sorry I couldn't get back to your earlier. Yes the FP regulator fixed my problem - Thanks to Jim and Armando. I did not have cold start problems, however after being parked for over 10 minutes (after a short drive) I had to crank it the 2nd time. I still have not reset the codes (too busy the last week) will probabaly do it this weekend..may be put the plugs too- FD9C. It is very easy to replace the FP regulator....here are the steps:
1. Remove the air filter housing completely.
2. FP regulator is located at the right rear corner of the engine (when facing the engine).
3. Undo your gas cap and relieve the pressure.
4. Get a snap ring plier (any local auto store should have it)
4a. Remove the little hose that is connected to the FPR.
5. The snap ring that holds the FPR down has two little holes in it.
6. Insert the little heads of the SRP into the 2 holes simultaneously and (with one hand) compress the ring and with (in the other hand) a screw driver just pry it out.
7. Pry/pull out the FPR. YOu may have some GAS come out..use a cloth underneath.
8. Insert the new FPR into the housing and press it in ..make sure it is properly seated.
9. Reconnect the hose.
10. Put the air filter housing back.
You're all DONE. Hopefully this fixes the problem. Good LUck
