Car won't start + fuel coming out of throttle body
My car will not start. I had the intake hose loosely on, and it was blown off when I tried to start the car. Also, I noticed fuel leaking out of the throttle body.....what is this? Bent valves??

You would have to be cranking for a very very long time for fuel to build up from eh injectors firing all the way to leak out the throttle body. Bent valves are not causing that.
The fuel pressure regulator and damper are vacuum diaphramme driven. The diaphrammes have probably rotted and are letting fuel pump itself into your vacuum system. take off the vacuum like that goes to the T fitting under the intake manifold, coming from the fuel pressure regulator and damper, and see if fuel leaks out or if it smells abundantly of fuel.
