Fuel pressure regulator leaking
Was driving the other day, noticed I was loosing power after half the pedal, kinda sputtered. Got home, popped the hood, noticed there was fuel leaking out from under the fpr. Pulled it, had a busted o-ring, no problem, got a new one at the parts store, replaced it, sprayed everywhere. So I got a new fpr, put it on, still sprayed, so I really cranked on it, and had a little trickle, so I tapped it down with a rubber mallet (thinking it was the ears) well, the leaking stopped, I thought. I was driving it the next day, and noticed it was doing the same thing under accel, so I stopped, and sure enough, it was leaking, not at an idle, but only when it was under acceleration. I need help here, I really don't want to change out the fuel rails.

Did you lub the O-ring before you installed? The O-ring might be damaged if you didn't, inspect it carefully. Also make sure there isn't any rust/dirt/etc on the sufaces, clean with steel wool.
