Is my fuel preasure regulator fuked?
right every time i shut my car off leaving it for about 5 mins or so it wont start due to fuel flooding into the air box and wen it dose start its horriblley missing til all the flooded fuel is burnt, i am just wondering if my fuel preasure regulator is not allowing fuel to go back to the tank can that be building the preasure up and forceing the fuel to leak out the float pin?

That was a lucky find
