Car randomly stalled while idling, started (barely) and was barely running down the street before stalling again and it wouldn't start back up. Smoke was pouring out the tailpipe and the pedal wasn't really doing anything it was like in and out and barely accelerating. Smelled like gas, and wouldn't start back up again after it stalled the second time.
I had the intake manifold off doing spacers, spark plugs (oem ngks), fuel filter (k&n), and injectors (Chinese). I managed to snap one of the inside studs on the lower intake manifold and thought I'd be alright considering I think I went overkill with the rtv. Well the car has been misfiring and it's actually cylinder 4 right by that stud, tried a new coil and it still misfired so I put the old one back.
was gonna go over to where the car is running tomorrow and try to get it running I wanna be as prepared as possible. For now I was planning on trying that other coil, then try an OEM for that injector, I guess then spark plug even though it's new OEM
Car wreaks of gas and there's actually a pretty decent leak from the oil pan area, front 3 injectors seemed dry.
I thought I used a little lube on each one but I don't think I did on the lower o rings. Seems weird to me that I put them in weeks ago and i just got this issue
On the stock injectors a lot came out with broken pintles, tips for avoiding this?

Both upper and lower O-rings should be lubricated to get a safe and secure fit into the fuel rail
Since you didn't lubricate them a lower O-ring could of possibly crimped and is now leaking gas into a chamber.
For a quick check remove the spark plugs. A dark and/ or wet plug indicates a leakage.
