How to Install a SRT 4 Fuel Pressure Regulator

The SRT-4 is a sportier version of the Neon that the Dodge division of Chrysler produced from 2003 to 2005. The primary difference between the SRT-4 and the base model Neon is that the 4-cylinder 2.4-liter engine in the SRT-4 is turbocharged. This does not affect the fuel pressure regulator installation, as this procedure is the same for all Neons made from 2000 to 2005. The fuel pressure regulator in an SRT-4 is part of the fuel filter assembly.

Instructions

1

Remove the filler cap on the fuel tank to relieve the vapor pressure in the fuel tank. Take the relay for the fuel pump out of the fuse box located in the engine compartment.

2

Start the engine and let it run until it stalls. Repeat this procedure until the engine fails to start to ensure you have removed the fuel from the fuel system. Detach the cable from the batterys negative terminal with a socket wrench to ensure you dont start the engine while replacing the fuel pump.

3

Press down on the quick-connect fittings for the fuel line and disconnect the fuel line from the fuel filter. Hold the locking spring tab on the fuel filter down and turn the fuel filter 90 degrees counterclockwise. Detach the fuel filter from the fuel pump and discard the fuel filters O-rings.

4

Lubricate the new fuel filter O-rings with engine oil and place them on the fuel filter. Place the fuel filter into its socket on the fuel pump so that the the hold-down tabs on the fuel filter align with the fuel pump flanges. Hold the fuel filter down as you turn it 90 degrees clockwise to lock the fuel filter into place.

5

Connect the fuel line to the fuel filter, then attach the cable to the batterys negative terminal with a socket wrench. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
