Default Dumping fuel through exhaust

Could anyone tell me why my prelude started dumping fuel through the exhaust. I replaced the injectors, normally it would be an injector stuck open. But it didnt do the trick. It stopped for about a week and now its started doing it again. Any ideas?

Are you getting any codes? Sounds like it might be the O2 sensor not reading correctly.

oygen sensor is probably going out, causing the ecu to think the car is running lean which causes it to pump more gas than the engine can burn, pushing gas through the exhaust.

they're cheapest from rockauto.com
