if an injector is stuck open its leaking down into cylinder and washing down walls....
check your line pressure at shrader valve and see if it drops ect

Mustangjon can you explain a little further?
Also this car has a 255lph fuel pump, my fuel pump used to stay on when I turned the key on but have fixed the problem, should I just get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? seems like it is happening with all cylinders.

I have seen fuel pressure regulator diaphram fail and it dumps fuel in through the vaccum. If you take off your vaccum hose from the regulator it would have fuel coming out of the regulator. Be carefull if you check it with the engine running I have seen fires start from that.

nothing came out when I disconected it, kinda seems like even when I turn the key on to prime it it gets past the injectors, so wierd.. any shopd want to work on this thing?

How much fuel was in there? if your car runs a lillte rich your going to get some fuel thatmakes it past the rings . I can smell gas on my dip stick after about 3 times to the track or one good night of street use . I little smell normal your oil level going up or you can see it on the stick then you got a problem

i haven't noticed the oil level rising any,but it does run rich.so a little fuel is normal on a car running rich?? it's fuel injected also with 42's and big TB/mass air

its cool, Mine prolly had about a cort in it :eek:.
Something Has to be failing when I got my car started after drying everything out for a while, it missed like crazy gas started leaking from headers, maybe my injectors are junk? anyone know a place to check them?
Also would anything else be making them stick open wiring ext.

The terrible fuel that was in there probly gummed up your injectors.That varnished fuel is some rotten crap.Try some lucas injector cleaner.I doubt all of them are stuck open unless some wiring issue is electrically making them stay open.But they would burn up and not work at all.
