It's possible. Take the vacuum hose off the fuel regulator and check for gas in the hose. If there is gas in the hose the vacuum diaphragm is leaking. Replace the reguator.

Why does your 1989 Chevy Celebrity constantly stall and sputter?

From your description I would guess that your car has a bad fuel pressure regulator. To check the fuel pressure regulator remove the vacuum connector from the throttle body. If gasoline comes out of a vacuum line the diaphragm has ruptured allowing excess gasoline to enter the intake through the vacuum line. If that is the case you will need to replace the fuel pressure regulator.
