1985-1991 Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit

High performance engines require higher fuel pressure than allowed by factory pre-set regulators. Now, you can adjust your fuel pressure to match your Corvette's specific requirements with our Performance Choice Fuel Pressure Regulators. On stock engines, tests showed a 9ft lb. torque increase and a 10hp gain. Modified engines will realize even greater gains. Kit also includes all necessary gaskets for an easy installation. Also fits other GM 350 T.P.I. engines. Order our fuel pressure gauge (#100-612) for an exact "dial-in".

Dial in the correct fuel pressure for your Corvette with our 1985-96 Fuel Pressure Regulator and Pressure Gauge Combos! Includes fuel pressure regulator, gaskets for the runners in the 1985-1991 kit, and fuel pressure gauge.

  •  Stock Engines Gain Up To 10 Horsepower & 9 ft/lb Of Torque

  •  Match Fuel Pressure to High Performance Intakes & Exhausts

How To Do a Minimum Air Set to Adjust the Idle on 1985-1991 L98 Corvettes:

1985-1989 Corvettes Normal idle voltage is: 0.54 to 0.56

1990-1991 Corvettes have a non-adjustable TPS. Voltage range is 0.36 - 0.96 0.72 is the normal idle voltage

1. Jumper across pins A and B in the ALDL connector under the dash, and then, turn on the ignition key. DO NOT START THE ENGINE! You will hear the coolant fan come on and the CHECK ENGINE indicator will start flashing. This is normal.

2. Wait at least 30 seconds with the ignition on, then open the hood and unplug the idle air control motor pindle move out of the shutoff bypass air position.  Remove the ALDL jumper wire.  

3. Unplug the single wire connector on the harness wire by the wiper motor.  It has a tan/black stripped wire.  This is the 5-volt distributor bypass wire that diverts the engine to base timing when it is open. 

4. Start the engine and set the base timing to 6 degree Before Top Dead Center.

5. Remove the idle screw plug on the left side of the throttle body assembly.  Using a 15 Torx tip adjust the idle 450 rpms.

6. Reconnect the IAC connector to the throttle body.

7. Check the TPS (throttle position sensor) voltage.  Loosen the 20 Torx screws and set it to .54 to .56 volts.  Using a digital volt ohmmeter across terminal A (black wire) to terminal B (dark blue wire) to set the switch, or use a scanner.  The engine does not have to be running; only have the ignition switch turned on.

8. Remove the battery cable and then reinstall after 10 seconds.  This erases the code 42 that was set due to the disconnect of the 5-volt bypass distributor wire.

9. Start the engine and vary RPMs.  After the engine is warm, hold the engine at 1500 RPMs for 2 minutes.  This cleans the O2 sensor.

10. Shut the engine off, then restart it.  It should now idle correctly
