Possible leaky injectors?

ok i did some research as I know, we teach that well to our members. My car has trouble starting and smells really rich of gas in the exhaust. I have to give it gas in order for it to fire up and usually takes anywhere from 5-15 seconds to fire up. Alot of people pointed to injectors leaking. I know its not the starter cause i had one go before and it's not it. I am also aware that the injectors do tend to fail from what i have read. Can someone just confirm this for me or point me in the right direction?

You'll have to start by getting a fuel pressure gauge and checking the leak rate.

You can also get a fuel injector cycler to test each injector while on the car. (still need the gauge).
