93 Sunbird 6cyl getting too much fuel. Extereme backfire at startup cannot give any fuel to start and burns really rich. Has new fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors and think new MAP sensor and have checked all the vacum lines. Started backfirring only on cold start (overnight) but does on any start now. Any ideas? Thanks

I am really begging to think cat converter is stopped up. Any way to check other than cutting tail pipe in front of?

There would have to be codes stored if it was really running rich unless the problem is in the ECM itself. Someone is going to have to analyze the sensor data from using a scan tool.
