Hi Guys, I'm getting an intermittent check engine. Fault,which on viewing suggests possible fuel pressure regulator issue.
I know when I had fuel pump issues the pressure was going higher than normal then dropping away ( probably due to an internal seal leak in the in tank pump).
The new pump fixed the weak mixture issues,but I still get the occasional 0002 fault code.
Any thoughts,or part number for a new regulator?
It's 2004 large boot Monaro V2 gen 3 LS1.
Thanks in advance.
The car is running fine by the way.
I'm wondering if the regulator diaphragm has gone hard with age?

I have an early 5.7 VXR big boot.
My infrequent engine check light was cured by replacing the O2 sensors. The car ran seemingly fine though and it only occurred at idle. Just a thought.
Otherwise, have you replaced the fuel filter recently. I know the scheduled replacement is very infrequent, but these cars are old now really.

Well,it does seem a coincidence that the fuel pressure when measured went high before it collapsed ( before the pump was replaced and the fuel filter was replaced at the same time.)
The fault code it threw up 0002 on my cheapo reader says fuel pressure/ fuel Volume regulator.
Do we know part numbers for these? Or indeed O2 sensors,which I agree are a very common fault.
Regards
Simon.

You're probably right, probably nothing to do with the O2 sensors. This was just my experience with an intermittent engine check light with an otherwise perfectly running engine.
AAS changed my O2 sensors, with 2 x Bosch 15703.

Now when I did a search, these didn't come up as the right ones for the car, but that is they fitted and my problem was cured smile

the 02 sensor part number is 0258005703 , bank 1 sensor 1 is the left side of the exhaust as you look forward from the back of the car , the bank 2 sensor 1 is the right side of the exhaust , worth some wd40 before trying to remove , i have headers which i think has made things easier

The above was posted in 2021, can anyone verify?

Also,is the Fuel regulator on the Monaro a return to tank style regulator or a Corvette C5 style non return to tank?
All help most welcome

Preface this, Regarding my nickname, I am not a mechanic! And I don't work for Motorola.
I don't have a VYII V8 Commodore to cross check over anymore.

On the Bosch AU website, the above number is mentioned. Not sure the link below will work or not.

02858005703 only comes up on the Bosch AU website, I would guess the 15703 number is the same thing.
V2 Monaro series III (big boot) over there, is the equivalent of a VYII V8 Commodore.
On the bottom of this page, it cross references a load of numbers.
https://automotivesuperstore.com.au/bosch-02580057...

I know the early cars VTII- VY series 1? only had one o2 sensor per bank.
I would maybe look under there as it looks like the plugs are the main difference from the big boot cars and later little boot cars

I am reading elsewhere that the fuel pressure regulator is in the tank with the fuel pump assembly.
Did you replace the fuel pump only or the whole assembly?

A quick search online shows that Bosch 17503 is the trade number for 0258005703
It would seem 17503 is the correct sensor, backed up by them being fitted to my car by AAS who are a Monaro specialist, at least for the big boot version of the Monaro which only has 2 sensors and not 4 like the small boot versions.
