What exactly are the codes you're getting??? They are usually right, and can help pinpoint you to the source of the problem.

Pull the vacuum hose off fuel pressure regulator and see if there is any fuel in it. Also check fuel pressure to see if pressure is to high. Also, post the code numbers to see if we can help.
