Exclamation Need Help Fast!

Hey everyone I need help fast, my car recently broke. It all of a sudded died, I was running it a little hard that night, but not that bad. It just kinda shut off, its 43lbs of fuel pressure, We changed the coil, distributor, and ignition modual, It's got spark. It just keep's flooding it self out. We can smell gas really bad so we are unsure if it's the computer or somthing electric.

I was also told it could be the fuel pressure regulator? Any idea's need to know asap.

Btw it sound's like it is going to start but it wont start? So we are completely stumped on it.

well if it is flooding itself I would say check the injectors, don't know the conventional method so you might research that. As for the FPR, take the vacuum hose off and take it away for the can and examine it for a strong scent of fuel and if there is any in it. If it is hard to determine remove the unite and examine that. if there is a leak the side with the hose on it will not hold vacuum (neither will the other side).

ok we did that yesterday, we put a new fuel rail in and 1 new injector, map sensor, distributor, distrubtor cap, and some a few other thing's still no go!

So we are thinking it might have a clogged cat, any suggestion's on that? Some one also suggested it might have a bad computer in so we got a nother computer out of a automatic Mustang? Don't know if it will work or not since it's a five speed.
