Have you looked on your lower intake to see if there is any fuel puddles?....
Do you have turn downs?

Well if your mpg haven't changed at all it might not be the injectors. When mine were leaking I was loosing fuel so fast you could almost watch the needle drop. I just changed the o-rings that looked bad and it fixed the problem. Chances are if there is a puddle forming on the lower intake it's your injectors maybe you have a small leak. Check your fuel lines also. Could be a number of things.

When my injectors started to get messed up they would smell like gas. It didn't get bad enough for there to be puddles of gas. They were just gas fumes. I could hella smell it when I drove so I changed my injectors and that was it. So just cause u don't see a puddle don't mean they are not leaking. Kinda like a water pump just cause it's not leaking coolant don't mean it's not broken. Good luck

You don't really 'need' to drive it to check the lower intake. Pop the hood, start the car, let it idle a couple min. and poke your head around and keep your eyes peeled. Good thing about leaking injectors is you get a nice high while pokin around under the hood. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Good luck hope you find the problem.
