Default Smell of Gas

# 2, 3 and 6 are flooded with gas. Put new a new coil on there and checked all the wires and still everything is ok. Would you say my dynaspark is bad?

it sounds more like u have leaking injectors. You should unscrew the fuel rail and lift the injectors/rail out the turn the key on and see if any leak..Make sure u use plenty of rags and/or a bucket.

highly doubt a fuel issue has anything to do with an opti...leaking injectors is my call...how many miles are on the motor?

there is a little oring that goes around the injector and it can blow, therefore causing the injector to leak...
