I was told by a mechanic thatthe Fuel Pressure regulator is leaking and the fuel injectors are clogging. There is a smell of gasoline in the garage but I don't see any on the floor. I need to replace the fuel pressure regulator on my 1994 Chev. s10 Blazer (Tahoe). How do I find it and replace it? Should I run some fuel injector cleaner through the gas?

 That means it's a "Vortec" engine. The regulator is inside the intake manifold.
