The problem happened again last night.

This time the car lost power and there was some banging noise from the engine bay, not sure what (can they back fire in the intake system?).

I pulled over but the car started running normally then.

The problem is intermittent, and has only happened within ten minutes of driving home from work. It has strangely never happened on my way to work.

I took the vacuum hoses off both fuel regulators and can smell fuel in the hoses. I ran the engine with the hoses disconnected but can't see any fuel coming out. Probably not the right way to test them though?

I had a spare fuel regulator so I've put that on to see if it makes a difference.

I was thinking of blocking the vacuum hoses to the RRFPR and the super charger bypass to disable the super charger. Is that worthwhile?

This morning the car would not start at all. Maybe the FPR I put in is faulty. There was some banging or popping going on in the engine bay when trying to start it.
