Hello, I'm Danny.

The fuel pressure regulator is integrated with the in-tank fuel pump/sending unit. I've attached a picture description below.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

I would suggest performing a fuel pressure test to verify if flooding.If you don't have access to a fuel pressure tester most auto parts stores have a loaner program and will rent you one.Here is a tutorial showing what's involved for a fuel pressure test:

If the fuel pump tests faulty here is a tutorial showing an in-tank fuel pump replacement:

The fuel pressure specification for you vehicle is 50-57 p.s.i with the Key ON- Engine OFF. I've also included a photo step-by-step below to help test the system.Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
