if u smell gas, then i wouldnt think it would be the injectors. did u do all the stuff above before or after it started happening because maybe u have a spark issue that its not igniting the fuel therefore your gas smell

If yer exhaust system is very new too it could be somthing as simple as that, they might not have put your cat back in and therefore you'd smell more fuel. Need more info on the siteation.

I have had the same problem too. I know I have a bad cat. You guys think that could be what would fix the gas smell problem?

Bad cat seems probable.

Cool. I am getting a code for a bad O2 also. It's for the one near the cat. Just to throw that in there too.
