1986 To much fuel pressure
Hey guys ive got a major issue with my car right now I have recently been expeirencing some hard starting. I actually have to give the car throttle in order for it to start. Usually it will start and then run fine then as soon as I turn it off and go sto start it again same thing I have to feather the gas too get it going then it runs fine. Today was a different story though it started hard then wouldent stay running I noticed alot of white smoke from the tailpipes, it also looks like there is some gas or something dripping out of the exhaust pipes. I tried to start it 3 different times and each time I would blow off a different gas line, I actually think they might be vaccum lines but when they blow they blow straight gas. The firs one blew off of the fuel pressure regulator the second off of one of the lines on the emissions equip. under the intake tube that connects the throttle body to the MAF the only thing I have done differently to the car is put different gas in it I usually run 93 octane Sunoco gas I have never run anything but Sunoco the other day i filled up with 93 octane qwik fill gas the car has run like garbage ever since I am at a 1/4 tank now.

Sounds like a split diafragum in your FPR.
Pull the vacuum line of the FPR and if fuel is present, this is your problem.
Reasonably priced and easy to replace.
