Question Fuel Flooding

I wonder if anybody has had this problem.
My driver's side spark plugs are always wet with fuel.
Driver's side fuel injection just dumps fuel on that side only.
I'm thinking there is an electrical connection gone bad.

I need help!

all the plugs on that side are wet???

I'd say leaking fuel injectors, but all 4 of them would be odd.

Could there be a problem with the front O2 sensor for that bank? Maybe check the O2 sensor wires, especially if you have long tubes.

O2 sensors are new and a few inches from the heads.

There is too much fuel dumped on the driver's side.

Does Anybody have an injector schematic ?

I could see if the open and close signal is working.

First thing i would do is check for a leaking injector. The injectors are powered with +12 all the time,they are fired by the pcm grounding each one. Look for a air leak on the exhaust before the o2 and scan the o2 is it switching normally? Are you getting any codes? If the o2 is working properly it should be throwing codes.

Question

I will check but first I changed the way the fuel press. regulator was hooked up.

Now it goes through the fuel rails then to the regulator.
I set the press to 28psi instead of 55psi.

Does anybody know the ls3 harmonic damper's demensions?
Is it like the early ls1 corvette or camaro?
