Would a bad injector do this?

[TYTILIDIE]

Recently I have been smelling fuel in my vacuum lines. I also had a strange issue with FP. It was erratic under normal driving conditions. Well both symptoms mysteriously went away. I ordered a new AFPR to be safe. When I went to install it today, I noticed that after I would turn the key on, my FP dropped about 1# every 10 seconds. Thats with leaving the key on. It shouldn't do that right? So my next question wold be, if it was a leaking injector, could it cause the smell of fuel in the vacuum line? Really I don't see how but maybe someone here knows something I don't. I should also say that FP dropped in the same manner before i changed out the regulator.

Im not much help but I know that injectors have nothing to do with vacuum lines and fp bleading down like that would lead me to suspect the fuel pump but I don't know my head from whole in the ground

No, it can't. Just replace the AFPR.

Fuel in the vacuum lines typically is the bladder in the AFPR.

The dropping FP is either the check valve in the fuel pump or it could be a leaking injector. I had a bad injector that exhibited a sympton like you have.
