02 Spectra fuel leak

[h4n]

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend started her 02 spectra the other day and it was a cold morning, she smelt fuel so i took a look and it seem to be leaking fuel off the part coming off the fuel rail. I took it apart to see if it the o-ring was bad but that was fine and then it happen the next morning and i actually seen it coming out of a pin hole leak off the nippple. So my question is what part is that called? I would like to replace that for her. thanks

it's called a fuel pulsation damper.

do you know where I can find it? I've tried a bunch of Kia parts websites but can't seem to find it, is it called something else too? Fuel pressure regulator??

the fuel pressure regulator is part of the fuel pump. that part is not a regulator, it's a damper that dampens down any pulses in the incoming fuel to the rail or the fuel in the rail so there will be a constant fuel pressure on the rail aside from the injectors opening and it's also there to make the engine less noisy. let me see what i can find because kia calls it a fuel pulsation damper on the sephias but they may call it something else on a spectra.

a cam sensor is called a cam sensor on a sephia but on a spectra they call it a top dead center sensor...for whatever reason.
