Does anyone know the answer to my question. Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause my 91 TT to act like it is choking when I accelerate?

it's possible but I doubt it. Start testing @ the fuel pump and work your way forward.

I am about to get a 1994 3000GT VR-4. I have heard alot about overheating problems in the engine and breaks. My dad is quite the auto mechanic and suggested the most effective for engine cooling would be an oil cooler and or advanced radiator set up. Does this car already have an oil cooler? and where is the radiator located?

stock it should be fine.

yes it has an oil cooler it is behing the driver side intercooler. to get to it you'd need to take off the wheel and splash guard and there it is in the bumper.
the radiator? seriously? same place it is on every car. I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you don't know where the radiator is you shouldn't buy a VR4.

I should have said is it in a different position rather than where is it. This car is pretty unique to others just clarifying. (radi is right behind the grill, didn't mean to sound that stupid) .

If your new to the stealth and 3000gt platform you shouldn't go off buying a twin turbo car because they require alot of maintanece and you HAVE to have extra money saved up for tragedies and problems. Some of these problems will cost you and arm leg and maybe a skirt too. If you buy a tt then you must either be stinking rich or be a mechanic, you have to treat these cars as if they were family. I would advice to get an es or an sl so you can learn more about our cars, then in a few years or when you know your car from head to toe and you aren't mechanically inclined then you can get a TT. This is just MY advice, there are some people who buy good TT's and don't have to do much maintanence. IF you do decide to get that vr4 then please find a good mechanic that actually know's something about the 3's and tell him to check it out if not then find a 3si member who lives nearby and ask em to check it out for you. 3k for a vr4 is dirt cheap, but for it to be that cheap there is obviously something wrong with it and it may be more than just power steering so take caution when purchasing.

If you have any questions then post away.
