Is my AFPR bad?

Last week I noticed that my FP was bouncing around under normal driving conditions. At WOT, it would move a little but mainly stay close to where its supposed to. It suddenly stopped doing this the other day but then I went to install my new BOV, and noticed that the vacuum line smelled like gas inside. I checked other lines and they smell too. I pulled the line of of the AFPR and turned the key on, no gas came out nor did I hear anything strange but it did not hold pressure. It was down form 50 to 15 in about 10 minutes.

So what would you say if I told you that now it has NO symptoms? Dont smell fuel in the vacuum lines nor is the FP gauge acting crazy. I went ahead and ordered myself a new AFPR anyway because I dont want to take a chance and end up burning my dreams to the ground.

You can hook it up to a regulated air source to the AFPR & submerge it in water or solvent & see if any bubbles come out. Put like 20 PSI into it.
