Sprinter Fuel Rail Pressure Regulator Problems – Poor Starting. If it is possible to monitor rail pressure using Live-Data, you may see the rail pressure dancing between 266 and 550 bar. Instability of pressure when holding a steady throttle will be the clue as to a problem with the fuel pressure control.
What is part number for sprinter fuel regulator?

What should fuel pressure be to start sprinter?
You must have at least 2500 PSI to start. 3. If no or low fuel pressure the nasty little culpret may be a 25 cent o-ring. The fuel pressure regulator is located at the rear of the fuel rail on 2002 to 2004 trucks. Its held in with two little torx head screws and can be a mother to get out. It’s not terrible you just have to work by feel mostly.

What causes a ram truck to not start?
First off, let’s get this out of the way, Ram trucks NEVER had the best luck with lift pumps. A lack of lift pump flow will not only cause a no start issue, but depending on how it failed, can cause other issues that we will discuss further into this post. The factory lift pumps on the 2003-2007 Cummins produce a dismal 10-11.5 PSI at idle.

When to replace fuel pressure solenoid on sprinter?
If it is and there is leakage, replace the fuel pressure solenoid. The high pressure pump is driven by the camshaft, and requires no timing. Fuel that enters the high pressure pump is pressurized between 200-1600 bar (2,900 – 23,205 psi). The pressurized fuel is then supplied to the fuel rail.
