Safe way would be to replace. Not sure if you are running the stockers, but larger injectors will not need to stay open as longfor the same amount of fuel and will eliminate this if that is the problem.

Nope, I drove to the grocery store and back on Monday. Actually....I gunned it on the way to the store (for about 10-15 seconds) as I was getting on the highway, but not on the way back. That was Monday. Haven't driven it since.

Your rings could always be bad. A compression test will tell you, but you'll need an adapter for these motors.
There's a website that you can send your injectors to for cleaning, not sure if it's worth it though.
If you have a fuel pressure gauge then you should know if you have an injector stuck open. When you turn the key on the fuel pumps will run for a few seconds and the pressure should hold unless you have a leak.

Well, Your right, I looked at my Fuel Pressure Gauge, and normally when I turn the key it jumps up to around 80PSI. Now when I turn it, it jumps to 80, but slowly starts droping. It got all the way to 60PSI before I pulled the key out.
I'll get it towed to my mechanic tomorrow and have him test every injector. Guess I should get AAA tonight. :-)

80psi? That doesn't sound right. I have the dual GT500 pumps and the most I seen is in the 50's and 70's at WOT. Anyway one or more of your injectors isn't holding.

Thats' what I was just about to say. It shouldn't be that high. Are you running a boost-a-pump or aftermarket pumps?

Yeah 80 psi read just arming is pretty high. That might be helping your problem

RE: Gas In The Oil - Not Sure What To Do
Ya, I run a Boost-A-Pump turned all the way to max. (INstaller told me to leave it like that). 80PSI is just during arming, once the car starts, it normally runs around 28 PSI at idle. Anyways, I got a AAA membership and I'm just going to get it towed to my mechanic tomorrow. I can't change the oil anyways (neighboorhood rules) so I would have to tow it eventually, so I figure I'll just let the mechanic flush the system and check the injectors. I'm really hoping thats the problem since it's really easy to just swap them out and that it's not a problem with any part of my engine.
