Pull off the vacuum tube on the Fuel Pressure Regulator on the front of the motor. If there's liquid gasoline in the tube or you get a strong smell of gasoline, it may be leaking gasoline from the fuel line into the intake system.
 
The FPR is the light aluminum colored thing on the fuel rail in right in the middle of picture going across and about 2/3 of the way to the right.
 

 
EGR valve picture. On exhaust pipe on back of engine close to throttle body end. Has tube going to air intake.

Do you have liquid fuel in the line from the FPR?

Fuel problem? by khh3

I have a 1993 buick lesabre, here's my problem, first of all let me add this, new fuel filter was installed, fuel pressure was checked, and was in parameters. So my problem is, the car starts fine, idles fine. On the highway and on city streets, when stepping of the gas, the car boggs down step down further, and more so, let up slightly and its ok. I was treating the fuel with star tron, and used recommended amounts and it cleared up for sometime, now I am back to the bogging down when stepping on the gas, and the fuel treatment no longer works. Have any Ideas? please help!
