.I have changed plugs/wires, distributor cap/rotor an coil/mod an just did fuel filter. I got a can of carburetor cleaner an sprayed the intake. The service light goes out and it stays off for a good minute. What is this fuel regulator, fuel pump? but it is running fine not missing or turning off? Help!

check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. if 60-66 psi it is good if not pump or regulator is bad, but probably pump. check for a vacuum leak as well. finally if it still shows a 300 code have a local professional freeze frame it so he check some voltages.
