After checking a leak on the number 4 cylinder injector, I removed the harness and popped out the injector and never relieved the pressure before hand. So as you can imagine the gas was everywhere. Now after reinstallation the number 4 cylinder fills with gas as soon as I turn on the key and power the fuel pump. What would cause this? Pressure regulator maybe?

Unplug the injector and plug a noid light into it. Now see if it lights up when the key is turned on. If it does, then the ground pulse wire to the computer is shorted to ground somewhere. If not, then the injector is just bad.
