    if you have fuel pressure regulator take the vac line off it and see if it has gas in it or smells of gas.

    Can vouch, cooked my motor really damn long, blew head gasket.

    Instead of guess-timating where it could be, get some dye http://www.amazon.com/Interdynamics-...H48ZTF7AF6TKVK and a $1 black light from the dollar store and have at it

    Cheaper than replacing the wrong thing a couple times


    EDIT: realised my post was irrelevant.. shouldn't have went to bed with the tab up lol
