      My fuel pressure reg . was bad when I bought my car. Just pull the hose off the fuel pressure regulator and cycle the key to check. If fuel comes out of the vacuum port its bad. It will run rich. Mine was still drivable. Shitty gas mileage though.

        make sure your tire pressure is up to par. and no dragging brakes.
