Q: Could it be the fuel pressure regulator or a clogged injector?

asked by on October 01, 2016

Recently I've been having problems with the car stalling. It seems to be starving for gas. I replaced the fuel pump in the tank it seemed to get a little better. It's stalling, it seems to want gas. Could it be the pressure regulator on the throttle body or a clogged injector?

My car has 57000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
