1991 gmc jimmy over fueling at start up, it wont start unless you push the gas pedal then it runs rough if you let off it stalls. It is getting way to much fuel...

Sounds like the relay is not shutting off fuel pump. Turn the key to on position ( not start ), pump should only run for a few secounds and you will hear a click and pump should shut off, if it keeps running relay is bad. If it works like it should than fuel regulator (if there is one) would be the next posability.
