Yesterday after a short drive and being parked for about an hour this
car wouldn.t start. There was spark at the plugs and gas shooting into
the throttle body from both injectors. We towed it home and later
realised that the gas spray was much too strong.The engine was
flooding.  We disconnected both injector electrical plugs and cranked
the engine with the pedal to the floor. The car started and actually
ran for almost 30 seconds before it started to starve for gas. Alot of
white smoke was present but it wasn't oil.  We connected both injector
plugs before it stalled and as we did this I heard a sort of"click"
come from around the area of the injectors it seemed. With this click,
the volume of the spray cut down considerably and the engine started to
run fine. The white smoke eventually began clearing. Todat the car
started up fine. Does anyone have a theory as to what might have
happened and how to troubleshoot it. I don't want to just arbitrarily
start repacing things but it sucks to be stuck too. Thanks for any
advice. Lenny.

How about checking the fuel pressure regulator?

Is there a procedure for checking this? And does the fact that after I
did get it started and it ran for awhile it ran pretty well eliminate
this as a possibility ? Lenny.
