Common for cars to protect the engine when the ECU detects a problem by running rich.  Reduces the risk of knocking and overheating.  Running rich causes the engine to run smoother, but you've probably noticed it's more sluggish too.  Sure there's a cutout due to the limp-mode, but it runs rich all the way until then.  Pressure regulators rarely fail--what was the fuel pressure at idle?
