A while back, I was having some mysterious engine problems - turned out it was the fuel pressure regulator. And at one point, the increased pressure caused one of the fuel hoses to pop off. A faulty FPR is definitely a possibility.

So I would find the leak, and check the fuel pressure.
I replaced two of the rubber fuel hoses in the engine bay a week ago. There is a third one that I didn't change as it looked okay, but maybe I should change.

I have a spare fuel rail so I could try another FPR, although not the RRFPR.

I ran the car today with the camshaft sensor disconnected to see how it would drive. Aside from a slightly worse idle, it drove fine, and did not seem down on power.
