Default Got a big problem, ecu code 16 and check engine light on and more...

I was driving home and my car stalled and it will not turn over, smelled some fuel. When I went do a compression check there was fuel in my number one spark plug. So I could not get a reading, so I started the engine without the spark plug gas shoots out of my spark plug hole, yes gas!. What the heck is wrong with my car?, I assumed it was a bad injector so I swapped out the injectors with my friend and reset the ecu, unplug the 7.5 fuse in my engine, and the check engine would still not go away, check my ecu for error code. Popped up a 16, injector problem but I just replaced my injector w/ my friends. My car idles funny, before it use to idle at 780 890 rpm now it idles at 600-650. Did I blow something, or did I bend a valve. Please help my car has been parked on my drive way for 2 weeks now.

To have that much raw fuel in the cylinder, I would think the injector would have to be stuck in the open position or the coil is energized when it shouldn't be.

Since you swapped the injectors, does #1 cylinder still flood with fuel? With ignition on, engine not running, does the injector click when you attatch the connector?
If so, the wire from that injector to the ECU is shorted to ground or the ECU itself is the problem. (12 volts flows through the main relay, injector resistors (if you have them), injector coils, and then the ECU grounds the injectors to trigger them.

A code 16 will set if there is a break in this circuit.
