Hey I have a big problem i have a 85 fuel injected lebaron.It is running way to rich if i can start it there is no power when i put it in gear my mechanic says it is getting 24 pounds of gas pressure and it should get 14. I have replaced the logic module, map sensor, fuel injector, fuel pressure regulator,and I have blown through the return line to the tank nothing has made any diffrence. Please help me i am in need of this car and i dont know what to try now. Thank You

i would look at the map sensor as it is common along with the fuel pressure regulator for this issue

If the sensor is bad, try a new one. keep in mind, you may have a bad wire or something.
