I am wanting to buy this 95 Chevy Camaro 5 speed 3.4ltr v6.the add says It needs a new FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR acording to a diagnostic.I called the person he said the car was flooding with feul.It will start and run for about 2-5 miles and then floods with raw gas(smell I geus).I know that this kind of problems happen on 95 blazzers and you usualy have to change a CPI. can there be anything like that on a camaro that is going bad.the guy is selling it for cheap and I have a hard time believing that he is selling it for cheap over a 50$ part that does not seem that hard to fix.he says he just needs to get rid of it for a parking spot.so if anyone could think of anything else that could be wrong or a good reason that i might just be a fuel pressure regulator let me know I am mechanicly inclined but I can not diagnose and only work on cars when they are broke.Thanks for reading. I need to have a car by mon - dec 29 !

It very well could be the fuel pressure regulator but it could also be bad injectors. I would start it up and let it run until it 'dies', pull the plugs, and see if they are wet with gas or something else like antifreeze or oil. Get your hands on a fuel pressure guage. Hook up the guage, start the engine, and see what the pressure is. Shut it off and see how long it holds pressure. If it drops immediately it could be FPR problems.

pull the hose off the regulator nipple when the car is runing if its spurting fuel out of the nipple its junk replace and go.
