V6 Ron Switch?

Any electrical issues

Its the same one as in the V6 rear spark plug/oil cooler change guides. Its got a black adjuster on top so I suppose 'AFPR' is std for V6. it was different on mine so I turned it 90 degress anticlockwise to match picture in guides. The difference was immediatly noticable. More power / Less noise - I thought she was running rich but it must have been lean?

No the V6 doesn't have a AFPR. Have you a picture of what you adjusted?

I think you are refering to the screw for de-pressurising the rail.

The FPR is the round metal object with a black/yellow hose coming off it to the right of that black bleed screw.

So when my local "mechanic" told me he'd turned the presure up after he'd replaced it, he was in fact talking a load of S**t or is there some other way of achiving this with a std FPR.

He was indeed talking from his arse.

You could allways check the vacume hose to the FPR from the inlet manifold by pulling it off and check for suction.

Shes ok at the mo, maf and battery tinkering must have done it- over 100mph in third, 0-60 around the 8.5 mark quite nice for a stock 'bra.

just got to do the oil etc..
