Default Fuel Injectors running too rich quick fix?

Okay so Im guessing that my fuek injectors are running to rich due to the fact that I can smell the gas at high RPMS real good. And I imagine that is the reason why my O2 sensor is tripping. Will replacing the injectors stop it from running rich? Or possibly cleaning them?

What is a good injector to get besides OEM? Any suggestions?

Yeah, I did a swap, but I did the swap on the fuel injectors as well.

Get OEM injectors if you're running a stock engine. Anything else would be a waste of money IMO.

If you are sure the correct injectors are being used, I would verify the fuel pressure next.

your run rich because of other reasons than just the injectors. something happens in order for th injectors to dump too much fuel po you need to find the reason.

What tools are needed to check fuel pressure. What other tests can I do to find the problem? Id like to run them all at the same time.

You could add a fuel pressure gauge to monitor fuel pressure. They are not expensive. If funds are available, you could also install a wideband O2 setup and monitor a/f ratio during close-loop and open-loop operations. If you are planning on tuning the engine, you would need them anyway.

The little gauges you buy that tell you what your oil pressure, fuel pressure, etc... They are aftermarket and they can be attached to the dash board.

What are AFRs? Im still pretty much a noob, even though I swapped my own engine in the car(someone else did the wiring) I still dont know shi*.

You can get the gauge that goes inside the car or under the hood. Here are a couple of simple underhood gauges from the marketplace forum. They can be easily installed on top of the fuel fuel via an adapter or directly to the fuel rail if you have an 1/8" npt port.

Well this comes as sorta shock to me. I did a valve adjustment the other day, and noticed that not only would the car run a little better but I didnt smell as much gas coming out the exhaust.

Im currently running fuel injector cleaner through my gas tank, and if its that I dont know. But I do know that since Ive done the valve adjustment I havent be overwhelmed with that funky gas smell, nearly as much or as potionet.
