does someone mind telling me what these are..i get a buzzing noise from "C" whatever it is when the ignition is on..is that normal? also is "b" the feed to the injectors and "a" the return...i took B off and it kept dripping petrol from the end taht goes into the engine so i thought id check wot it is im actually taking off before going any further.. to test for a faulty pump should i remove B and crank the engine?

C: ICV buzzing normal with ignition on.

A: Fuel feed.

B: Fuel Return.

DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT PUTS PETROL ON THE ENGINE/IGNITION SYSTEM.

Think you should have another look at the photo, kam.
B = fuel feed
A = return

Ouch........

I always thought the FPR regulated(sp) the fuel coming into the fuel rail....

Cheers for that....

The FPR is at the end of the system, not the beginning. right ?
