Fuel issue in a xuv590m4 replaced Fuel pump and if it actually starts it will run

If the fuel pump is replaced and the pressure is still too high, then the issue may be with the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is responsible for controlling the fuel pressure in the fuel system. If the pressure is too high, then the fuel will flood the engine and cause it to stall. You may need to replace the fuel pressure regulator or adjust it to the correct pressure.

1997 chev truck with vortex 454 if it sits for a while it will start just fine. if I stop the engine it will not restart unless I pump the throttle

This sounds like a leaking fuel pressure regulator so as soon as you turn the engine off the fuel leaks into the intake and floods the engine, locate the fuel pressure regulator and remove the vacuum hose then cycle the ignition switch to run the fuel pump and watch the regulator nipple for fuel. I hope this helps. Take care.

There is a vacuum line off the intake plenum that goes to a check valve and a return fuel line off the fuel regulator to another check valve. Both connect through a "T" and go to the EVAP can by the f

My 1994 buick lesabre misses out

Check the fuel pressure. It will tell you if the pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator are all good. Fuel pressure is critical on fuel injected engines.

Check your spark plugs for wear or the wrong gap.

Another possibility is a vacuum or air leak. Check all vacuum hoses and the intake manifold gasket. The GM 3.8L engine is prone to lower intake manifold gasket failures. Sometimes the upper intake gasket, too.

Car ships replaced wires plugs o2 sencer sometimes acts like it is flooding run fine on open road.

If it acts like it is flooding while idling, but it runs fine on the road, it could be running too rich and flooding it out due to leaking injectors, bad fuel pressure regulator, or excessive fuel pressure.

I would start by replacing the Fuel Pressure Regulator since it doesn't cost as much as the injectors.
Check your fuel pressure using a Fuel Pressure Check Gauge to see if the fuel pressure regulator is maintaining the proper pressure.

Vacuum is attached to the Fuel Pressure Regulator to control system pressure. When the fuel pressure regulator is not functioning properly it causes the fuel pressure to be above normal operating pressure. This condition causes excess fuel to be injected causing a rich mixture that produces black smoke.

Flooded intake

the most common cause of this is the fuel pressure regulator.

92 S-10 4.3 ltr seems to be flooding

The fuel pressure regulator may be failing. If your engine code is "W" the regulator is under the upper intake manifold. You may replace the entire injector package or just the regulator.

DORMAN regulator Part # 55162 about $40
ACDELCO CPI injector Part # 2171431 about $400

These parts may last slightly more that a year if you are lucky. I carry an extra regulator and manifold gasket at all times.

My truck will not start. i have a new starter, alternator, fuel filter fuel pump, mas, air filter. any other suggestions. its fine once its started. i spay choke spray in it to get started.

I have had similar problems and had to replace the fuel pressure regulator. It's a major expense because it sets below the diaphram in the intake manifold. Ask your mechanic about it, it may be the issue. I would get about 30,000 miles between replacement, I've replace it 3 times since purchasing the 2000 chevy blazer new, first one was under warranty.
