Possible, but doubtful its injectors.

Check and make sure you have full spark to all cylinders first.

Injectors will make it run rought, but smell like gas, no. Not unless you cracked the side of one, or leaking an oring or something.

Getting to where you can do ohm test on these is not fun. Other then ohm test, a normal DIY person doesnt have the tools to test any futher.

yeah, check o-rings. Also check hard fuel lines along rail frame for rust leaks.
