regulator valve
I ask because my OBD says error code P1187 and the only explanation I have found the error code is: regulator valve - stuck. I have a 2005 Sportage EX 2.0 DOHC have any idea what it could be and where can I find it any stuck regulator valve? very bad explanation but I need good suggestions.

After 3-4 attempts to start the car loosened the error and it was possible to drive it home.
What is meant by that?
Filled purified kerosene into the fuel tank and hope it "lubricates" the valve so it does not happen again soon.:)
Be cautious what you add to gasoline on fuel injected cars, ..... some additives are not kind to the O2 sensors.
