A fuel pressure regulator does what it says on the tin .. it regulates the pressure from the fuel pump. The fuel pressure is controlled so that as each injector pulses a known amount of fuel is injected, without a regulator the engine would either flood or run very rich ... a DJ doesn't have the Lambda sensor to automatically adjust the mixture which the other 2.1i types do.

Then I would suspect the temp 2 sender.

blocked breather for the fuel tank? Causing a vacuum - had it happen in the past (admittedly not on a camper) but drive me nuts for a while until I found it.

Best Regards
