Ok ive been having this problem where im getting a light white smoke from my tail pipes --- NO ITS NOT A HEADGASKET!!! --- And the car runs like crap and pops at low rpms, It smells like RAW FUEL, so i pulled out the plugs and my number 7 plug smells like gas and is a little wet while all the others are fine. So i got a looking around and noticed my intake manifold (trickflow) was smashed down on the injector, and the wires on the harness are not in the best shape a little fraile. So if the wires were kinked badly and or touching eachother is it a good chance that the injector is sticking open flooding that cyl.????

What you are describing sounds like a definite possibility. My question is why is the intake hitting the injector? You may need to rotate the injector a little for clearance. The injectors are constantly supplied with 12V (run and start position) and the ecu grounds the return wire to fire the injector. It sounds like the return wire is grounding itself (shorting) holding the injector open. Excess/unburned fuel would be white smoke. Don't forget to change the oil once you've fixed the problem.

Yea when i put the manifold on i didnt think to look onder and see if it had clearance, and to rotate it. Im hoping this will solve my problem.
