Guys as you all know I was suppose to go race a GTO tonite and I went out to go check over the car to make sure fluids were good and needless to say I pulled the oil dipstick and I could instantly smell gas. I had this problem not to long ago when the O2s were reading false due to me splicing the wires for the long tubes. I fixed that problem and well I guess it didn't fix it. I don't have a wideband to see exactly what the A/F is but the plugs look great. I am thinking I have a injector stuck open but after 3 hours of sitting I still had fuel pressure and like I said plugs look good, or maybe my timing is still off and it is too advanced....IDK this is driving me nuts. Any help would be great.
Thanks

It sounds like you have a leaky injector. I would take the plugs out and smell them, at least one of the eight should smell like gas pretty heavily. I had the same problem, but it was from turning over my car and a bad coil, it was just dumping fuel in without combusting it, and it washes down the cylinder walls. No matter what, before you drive it, I would change the oil.

I pulled the plugs and all 8 look good. I am going to do another leak down test tomorrow. There is no black smoke out the back so I am not running rich.
