Pull the source vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator, and check for liquid fuel to be present. What happens is a faulty regulator will eventually allow the residual fuel rail pressure to bleed into the intake system. The result is extra fuel in the engine at start up, resulting in long crank, possibly some smoke out the tailpipe, and a raw fuel smell.
