Have you messed with the injectors at all? Sorry; I haven't been paying
attention. I have two times now gotten an injector cocked in the pod and
tightened down the cover, which broke the O-rings around the injector. Result
was a really bad gasoline smell and poor running. Just something to check.
You can put a paper towel under each injector and then turn the ignition on
(don't start the car) for a few seconds, then check to see if the paper towel
is wet.
