fpr and injectors
I have a 92 Pontiac Grand Prix. And was wondering would the fuel pressure regulator give a warning before it goes out. I was smelling heavy gas from the engine. Is that a warning. The car started and cut back off in like three seconds, and now it won't start at all. Any suggestions.

Re: fpr and injectors
Welcome to the forum. Was the smell actually under the hood, or at the tailpipe? If it's from the engine, you could have bad o-rings on your injectors, or a bad fuel pressure regulator. If it's from the exhaust, you could be running rich-as-hell for some reason (02 sensors, ect.), which would also explain the stalling.

Re: fpr and injectors
The fuel pressure regulator has a vacuum diaphram that can tear and leak fuel, causing a no start situation. They normally go without warning, and a strong fuel smell under the hood is a symptom of one failing.
