Replaced fuel injector and...

Hi I had a misfire code for #2 fuel injector- replaced and it ran good for half a day and now the car runs like crap and blue smoke is coming out the exhaust. Can someone help? Its a 95 SE 5-speed. Thanks

Blue smoke is oil, unrelated to the fuel injector replacement. Now if it's black, that would indicate a leaking injector.

But why does the car run worse than when the injector was bad originally? Could it be too much fuel somewhere?
