The fuel pressure regulator is located INSIDE the intake manifold. If you are going through the work of replacing it, i strongly suggest replacing the injectors. An updated injector setup is available as the originals were very problematic.

SOURCE: how do i chang the fuel pressure regulator .

Should be attached to the fuel rail. The fuel rail connects all of the fuel injectors. The regulator will have a vacuum line on it.

Testimonial: "thanks for the help and it fixed the problem."

1996 Sonoma Problem

Not sure. You need to do a little checking of ignition and fuel delivery. I would first check for spark at all four cylinders to eliminate or verify if ignition is causing it. If you have distributorless ignition, you have 2 coils. One coil serves cylinder 1 and 4, the other coil serves cylinders 2 and 3. If for instance, you have weak or no spark on 1 and 4, suspect the coil for them.
If you have good spark on all four, a bright blue, snapping spark, then pull the spark plugs to check they are not fouled, like oil fouled that prevents spark..
If ignition is good, look to the fuel system.
Maybe an injector is blocked open by debris and won't close. That's very rare, but a possibility. The spark plug for that cylinder would likely be much wetter than the other plugs after cranking it over. Maybe the fuel pressure regulator has failed. If you can find the fpr on top of engine (some are located under the intake manifold, hard to get to. and some are fitted to the pump in the gas tank-impossible to inspect) then pull off the vacuum line to it and check for evidence of gas there-a sure sign of a ruptured regulator, and it will let extra gas get sucked into the engine-just like your problem. If you can't find the pressure regulator, you should have the fuel pressure tested-mainly to see if it is too high-also a pressure regulator problem,. likely.
IDK, maybe this will help you a little, good luck.

1996 GMC Sonoma Acceleration problem!

If the check engine light is on I would have that checked first. The trouble codes in the computer will help point you in the right direction for troubleshooting.
You could have a sticking fuel injector, or an ignition problem, or both.

1998 gmc sonoma 2.2L when motor is warm it is hard to start-floods- start good when cold

Check the fuel pressure regulator. Pull the vac line after it is warm and see if it is leaking gas into the vac line.

I have a 1996 gmc yukon 4x4 have flood problems I have put in new fuel pump has good fuel pressure changed coolant sensors changed throttle body changed computer plugs wires distributor cap and button coil...

Possibly a busted fuel pressure regulator diaphragm. The regulator is mounted to the end of the fuel rail.
With the engine idling, pull the vacuum line off the regulator port. If gas comes out of the port, replace the regulator.

Truck won't stay running

Check the fuel pressure at the Shredder Valve, You should have 60PSI to 65PSI upon start and should drop about 5PSI when running. If your fuel pressure is good then it may be a bad injector system. The fuel injector spider system that the vortec has are know to go bad, from the fuel pressure regulator to the puppet fuel valves. Change the fuel filter first if it has not been changed yet and have the fuel pressure check. Good luck and keep me posed. Note: it's been know that spraying ether to start the vortec with the spider injector system has got the puppet valves to catch fire and melt the ends of the puppet valve leading to the replacement to the whole system. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.
