You need to check fuel pump pressure to see if it is too high. If it is good, start looking at the intake gasket. Here is a how to for checking fuel pressure.

Let me know what you find, and most parts stores will lend you the gauge you need. Something tells me the pressure regulator is bad. It has a vacuum line on it. Remove the vacuum hose. If it has gas in it, replace the regulator.
