Question fuel flowing from air intake

1990 ZR1: Started engine but after about 2 minutes it stalled. Tried to restart but no luck. Smelled gas and found large puddle at front of car. Removed air filter and found large amount of fuel coming out of the plenum. Any suggestions? Please?

Fuel pressure regulator might be bad or stuck injector pull the spark plugs out to purge out the raw gas so you dont bend a valve

When that happened to my car it was the fuel pressure regulator, leaking.

Thanks for the info. I'll try the pressure regulator first. Anybody else seen this happen?

I had a similar issue. Turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator also.

Hi,
I see two part numbers:
1990 to 1992 is 17112220
1993 to 1995 is 17069632
Are they interchangeable?

Thanks,
Bill

Is there any way to replace the diaphragm in the regulator?
That's pretty much the only part in them that could go bad...

Jagdpanzer cut one up to see if it was serviceable - can't do.
