Swapped Secondaries And Found Fuel Leak...
Well I Took Off The Manifold This Weekend And Proceeded T0 Swap Out My Secondary Injectors. Yesterday I Removed The Old Ones And Installed The New Ones. While I Was In There I Was Investigating The Fuel Smell That I Have Been Having The Last Couple Of Weeks. I Found The Fuel Pulsation Damper Is Slowly Leaking So I Got To Work This Morning And Ordered A New One, $101.06 After My Employee Discount, Merry Christmas Huh? Not Too Bad Though For Peace Of Mind And Resolving A Fuel Leak. Hopefully Now With The New Injectors The Car Will Finally Run Like It Should, And If So Then This Will Have Been A Worth While Affair. If Not, Then I Will Wish That I Left The Fuel Leak And Had The Car Caught Fire And Collect Insurance,lol! My Secondary Injectors Did Not Appear To Be Faulty Visually, So I Hope The New Ones Take Care Of The Problem.....

The new injectors should have new o-rings on them - and like R.Ex.7 said, replace the injector grommets too (they are the rubber rings that sit in the block - there are one per injector). They are there to seal fuel vapors, and if you have had any leakage they are often shot. Grommets + FPD + secondaries w/o-rings = a good fix.
As for the PCV, it was eliminated in the 95s - I would investigate that setup if you need or want to remove them.

Im In The Same Boat As You Were I Believe, And I Hope I Have Fixed The Problem. Like You I Have Tested The Injectors Myself, Cam At Pettit Tested Them And Before All Of This They Were Flowed And Matched W/new Caps And O-rings Last Summer. But With Mine And Cams Testing We Have Never Found A Problem With The Injectors. I Guess That Can Be Totally Different When They Are Under Load Rather Than Just Being Benched. So, New Injectors Fixed Your Issues? I Hope This Does The Trick. When I Was At Pettit Cam Found The Problem To Be Too Much Fuel And He Tested Everything That There Is And Found Nothing. I Talked To Him Friday And Says That He Is Very Confident That The Problem Is With The Secondary Injectors. Im Gonna Cross My Fingers And Hope He Is Correct Cuz I Am So Tired Of A Year And A Half Of Dead Ends And Thousands Lost......
