My sidekick has not been running well lately. When I first start it up, it "putters" really bad. When it is extremely cold out, 10degrees F. It will start up, then slowly die and will not start again for 2 days. The engine will crank like a champ, I am gettin sparks, but the engine just gets flooded. I recently began to take it apart, and the engie is just getting flooded. I am pretty sure that is what the problem is. It has been suggested that the fuel pressure regualtor is bad and that is pumping too much gas into the engine. Any ideas?
