Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause the check engine light to come on?

Yes, a bad fuel pressure regulator can cause the check engine light to come on.

The fuel pressure regulator is a device that controls the amount of fuel that is delivered to the engine. If the fuel pressure regulator is faulty, it can cause the engine to run too lean or too rich. This can cause a number of problems, including:

- Engine misfires

- Stalling

- Hesitation

- Reduced fuel economy

- Check engine light

If you are experiencing any of these problems, it is important to have your car diagnosed by a qualified mechanic. They can determine if the fuel pressure regulator is the cause of the problem and replace it if necessary.
