Symptoms:
vibration/chugging engine
strong smell of unburned gas from tailpipe
poor acceleration unless you really put it down hard
slow to start, 3 or 4 seconds of cranking before it starts
mileage down from 14 combined average to current 11.5
OBD 2 scan tool says 0172 and 0175, rich on both banks, no other codes appearing
So, I changed all plugs, cap, rotor, wires, all AC Delco parts, and NO CHANGE.
What would you do?

Pull the vacuum hose off the fuel pressure regulator and check if it's wet inside. If it is, replace the leaking regulator.
