92 3.1L problems

i can smell gas coming from the area of the injectors, but i've replaced those about a year ago. Also I'm getting a "faulty TPS" code but it's not constant, so i'm thinking it may be something else causing the problem. anyone got any ideas? please help

Re: 92 3.1L problems

whats the drivability issue? find the fuel pressure regulator, pull the vacuum line off of the top, have some one go inside and turn the key to on so the pump primes te system. watch for any gas leaking from the vacuum port where it was removed from the fpr. if there is, replace it. sometimes the diaphram inside these will go bad causing gas to be suckied through the vacuum lines.

I agree with tblake, it sounds like a fuel pressure regulator gone bad. Check for raw fuel in the vacuum line too. The only way fuel can get in the vacuum line is through a faulty FPR.
