Could be a leaky injector/s and fuel pressure regulator-could be running to rich due to the following

Probable causes of an engine running rich are as follows:

1.Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2.Defective Oxygen Sensors.
4.Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5.Restricted air intake system.

the fuel injector sometimes sprays out fuel, other times when i start it it drips fuel like a leaky faucet. not sure what that means. engine temp. doesnt seem to make a difference.
