leaky injectors. pull the fuel rail off, keep the injectors in, put the car on ACC. and see if any spray or leak. could be dumping too much fuel in, flooding the cylinders.

its not leaking injectors Niki....

-your engine is flooding itself. check your timing buddy. If the thing is running stupid rich, your plugs will be soaked and the plugs will not spark properly causing the car to run like a lawnmower.

-take a volt meter and place it across the signal wire on the injectors and make sure the number changes... If the number does not change in volts/ohms.. you have a stuck open injector.

Nick... i hear you but a "leaking injector" leaks outside of the O-ring going into the intake manifold or from the rail.... that is what you described.

it doesn't leak into the cyl... it is sprayed systematically. the injector drivers on the ecu could be bad and or the mechanism with-in the injector could have failed.

yea lol sorry mate.... when i seen "leaky injector" I didnt read the rest. the issue with your method though is... a big mess and the injectors will be spraying rapidly lol.... making it hard to pin point the issue.
