I have a 1987 ford ranger the engine turns over but it wont start

Spark at plugs? Fuel filter? Pressure on injector delivery line? Pressure relief valve? You may be able to measure fuel pressure at the pressure relief valve location. and return line. If you have spark, I'd say it's a fuel supply problem

1997 Buick LaSabre 3.8 engine.

About the only thing that would make all 6 cylinders flood out is the fuel pressure regulator or a computer problem. You say you have checked the regulator, so the next step would be to check the injectors for a short to ground.

2005 cavalier fuel pressure regulator

I doubt it is coming from the pressure regulator. The regulator should have a vac hose going to the manifold that would **** the gas into the engine and run very rich.
The short answer is YES that is very bad, but I wonder where the raw fuel is coming from.

Overreving with no power and excessive gas consumption air filter cleaned map sensor replaced fuel pump and filter

usually caused by busted diaphram in fuel pressure regulator allowing fuel to be drawn thru regulator directly to intake manifold. Pull vacuum line off regulator, plug line with golf tee, start car and watch to see if gas comes out of regulator. If yes, turn off car, replace regulator. The regulator sits near the fuel rail on the top of the engine as shown below. I will paste replacement instructions below from autozone.com in case you need to replace the regulator. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, i have a 1993 ford f-150 4.9 the truck starts if runs very rich i have checked fuel pressure checked ok ive check spark getting a strong spark ive check for injector pulse and no problems the truck...

Hi,
I think you are on the right track. With the engine off remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator and see if there is fuel in the vacuum hose or fuel is leaking from the fuel pressure regulator vacuum nipple,if so replace the regulator,check to make sure that the engine oil is not contaminated by fuel if so,change the oil and filter. Good Luck!

Cranks but no start

Sounds like the carb is dirty. I would check that before spending a lot of money of other things.
