Hi, my 1988 Olds Cierra started using excessive fuel. Had injectors cleaned, new spark plugs, checked plug wires. Recently had new catalytic conv. and muffler put on. Could my problem be the fuel pressure regulator & if so what should the normal pressure read. Thank you for any help you can give.

Checking the fuel pressure you can rule out a defective fuel pressure regulator with and w/o vacuum to it and a clogged return line-

TBI fuel pressure 9-13psi

PFI could range from 60-90psi
