I am having white smoke that smells very strong of gasoline! I also have an error code of PO206 which is cylinder 6 injector circuit open. Replaced all the plugs and 2 of the injectors and now im lost. Everyone keeps telling me I have a cracked head or something. Could that explain the code?

White smoke indicates coolant is being burn in the combustion chamber-Get it block and pressure tested

A P0206 engine light code could be any of the following:

Bad injector. This is usually the cause of this code but doesn't rule out the possibility of one of the other causes
Open in the wiring to the injector
Short in the wiring to the injector
Bad PCM
Possible SolutionsFirst, using a DVOM check the resistance of the injector. If it isn't within specs, then replace the injector.
Check for voltage at the fuel injector connector. It should have 10 volts or more.
Visually check the connector for damage or broken wires.
Visually check the injector for damage.
If you have access to an injector tester, activate the injector and see if it operates. If the injector operates, then you likely have either an open in the wiring, or a blocked injector. If you do not have access to a tester, swap the injector with another one and see if the code changes. If the code changes, then change the injector.
At the PCM, remove the driver wire from the PCM connector and Ground the wire. (Make sure you have the correct wire. If you're not sure, do not attempt) The injector should activate
Replace the injector
