Check the 2nd Gen Archive for Marren PD Retrofit. For alittle bit more cost than a stock PD you can get an aftermarket one on your setup that will be alot more reliable. Also, if it fails this PD can be rebuild and doesn't spew fuel everywhere. I did this to my car for $200.00.

Open the hood and make sure there aren't any fuel leaks. The car may just be running excessivly rich under WOT.
