Default Fuel damper?

Can a Bad fuel damper affect fuel pressure? If so is there a way to check it out?

Mine went out and the car didn't run any different. I discovered it because I have a fuel pressure gauge mounted in the fuel rail and the needle was bouncing around. I changed the dampener and it smoothed out.

The answser is YES. The Fuel Pressure Damper is necessary to remove the pulsations in fuel pressure that are caused when the fuel injectors open and close.

The easiest way to check the damper is to connect a fuel pressure gage to the end of the fuel rail and start the engine. With the engine running disconnect and plug the vacuum line to the damper. With the line disconnected the amout of pressure pulsation should increase.
