So if this is the case... is it possible that it is not opening enough during high demand? Or is this just an open or closed type device with no actual regulation properties?
I believe you pulled the hose off the MAP not the fuel regulator. This is a 0-5 volt ref signal the ecm uses to calculate fuel pulsewidth. It does a real poor fuel calculation without that signal.
