Well I did the test and fuel did come out of the regulator so I went ahead and got one new. After installing it ran rough at first then calmed down and check engine came back on, so I drove it to the auto store. Codes read o2 bank1&2 too rich and maf sensor intermittent. When I was driving it still have the hesitation but not as bad. Got up to 30mph it started hesitating again but not as bad as befor and I also heard a popping sound on passenger side of engine. Got back home checked plugs and there was fluid on the threads of the first and third plug on that side.

Ok that's good that you replaced it then. My concern now is that you may have fouled out plugs from all that raw fuel getting sucked in through the vacuum line at the regulator. You may have even melted the internals of the converter from all the raw fuel as well. Have you had a chance to test the TPS? Make sure your coolant level is good in the radiator.

If its doin better then thats good. I would drive it a little bit and see things clear up a little more. I posted earlier how to test the TPS sensor and what to look for when testing. You will just need to expose the wires (leads to touch bare copper) the connector is still plugged in. I can understand the frustration haha, but thats just part of the game when your on this site. Trust me the frustration can be just as bad for us because we have decode the cypher for some that come here for help haha.

Ok ill try that next and drive it some more to see if it's going to get better. I know I was about to break down and take it to the shop but I don't like shop prices. I'm not a mechanic but I do something's but this had got me stumped. I will do what you said and get back to you.
Haha yes very frustrating. Guys like you are highly appreciated for the work that you guys do and the help that you guys provide.
