I would think that spraying fuel would have been evident long before a mechanic found it. Either by smell or sooner by fire,the cats would pretty much be in line with a fuel stream from above. So greatful I work on my own stuff and don't have to relie on a mechanic.

No smell or fire.

I generally do as much as I can but I don't know enough about plenum removal.

I certainly hope that the replacement of the pressure regulator has a more pronounced improvement than the earlier replaced parts which had none.


The "easter egg hunt" method of parts replacement is always troubling.


I also hope that the regulator was not an egg that was broken while the other eggs were being gathered.


The earlier poster voiced a valid concern that a leaking one would have had distinct and easily noticeable symptoms, not to mention dangerous ones.


On the bright side, it apparently wasn't spark, so fuel is a good next suspect.


Wishing you the best!

Welp... All is well again. No stutter during acceleration. It's good to have it back. It was almost not fun to drive for a minute.....


Almost.


Fun fact, apparently under the intake, a mouse family elected to try and nest there. They didn't make it. Thankfully no wores were chewed. Not sure what else I can do to keep mice out of that car aside from put it in a bubble.
