The injectors can fail. Most commonly they get stuck open. A sign of this is if your oil smells like gas - just pop open your fill tube and take a whif. If you replace them, swap them all. The ef-1 style Bosch injectors for 03-04 are cheap. Kinda pita to swap though with the air box and sai in place.

You may want to do a vacuum test to make sure it looks good. Smoke tests are not always reliable. Blue62 has written some great posts about doing this type of test.

Ahhh... i guess I'll drop the cash... I just try and take pride in not 'throwing money at the problem'.

The fill oil fill tube smells very oily... no gas for sure. If it were stuck open... I think I would see it in the O2 or RKAT values on durametric?

I'll prep for a vacuum test tho.
