2-3-1 = Fuel system compensating for rich or lean mixture.
I had this one. It turned out to be a stuck idle control valve. Cleaned
it out and worked fine since.

2-2-1 = Fuel system compensating for extremely rich or extremely lean
running condition at cruise.
You may have some vacuum leaks or cracks in the intake boot. Check where
the hoses connect. could also be the O2 sensor.

1-1-3 = fault in fuel injectors.
Oh oh. Could be a number of things here. Seals, dirt, wiring...and gasp
the ECU.


Hope this helps.

If there's a junkyard nearby grab a spare fuel pressure regulator,
they're cheap used, kinda pricey new, and the easiest way to diagnose
one is to swap in a different one.
