start with checking the map sensor hose, on the passenger side up on the firewall from the map sensor to the back of the intake manifold. Hose could be disodged, cracked etc.
Also check for any vacuum leaks, you should be able to hear them with engine running, and last but not least, the o2 sensor. |

on my EF the fuel regulator s**t itself, when that happened it was putting fuel into the rail at the same pressure at the pump so ie really down on power stalling and high fuel, basically it was flooding itself.
i just grabbed one from a self pull wreckers, free and put it in and it was fine regulator is at the rear of the fuel rail not sure about the EB tho. but yeah as rachnglen said check map sensor first and all hoses as im pretty sure the regulator relies on vacuum pressure to regulate fuel intake |

here is a pic of a EF fuel rail and regulator on the end, as you can see there is a vac line on the regulator, if the line comes off it will fail to ( regulate ) fuel pressure, could be as simple as that, as i said before im not to sure on the EB manifold might be a different setup
