Re: more info on my car...

Just because you are getting fuel flow from the return line doesn't 
mean it isn't restricted. You NEED to get a gauge setup on the car so 
you can find the source of the problem. I think you will find it to be 
either a resticted return line or a stuck Primary Control Pressure 
Regulater. The warm-up regulater is the control pressure regulater on 
the left valve cover and the primary control pressure regulater is on 
the side of the fuel distributer. If you assume the test you performed 
gave you 2 liters of fuel when you should have had 3 then you would 
know with certainty that the line is blocked. Unfortunatly I do not 
know the return flow rate so I don't think that is a valid test. If 
the system pressure is too high it can only mean that the Primary 
control pressure regulater either isn't working or the return line is 
restricted or blocked. I think the regulater you took apart is the 
control pressure regulater (warm-up regulater) and I don't think it is 
the source of your troubles. Failure of this component usually results 
in hard cold start conditions and trouble with acceleration or fuel 
enrichment.
