my 3.1 lumina euro is gushing fuel into the air filter housing and exhaust manifold as soon as i try to start the car. i have changed the fuel presure regulator twice. the first time it was working fine for one day. the second one i put in started pouring gas also. what other sensor or part would cause this to happen. the regulator did not have gas coming out of the tube when i checked it, so i assume it is good. there are no vacuum leaks on any of the hoses.

Check the static fuel pressure -The injector/s could be stuck open or a clogged return line
