2011 4.0 hydro locked

Hey crew anyone run into this. I have a truck would not turn over. Pulled all plugs out. Engine is ok found Cyl#6. Spewing gasoline out of spark plug whole. Gained access to injector 6 connector. Put tester on connector. Light pulsates off and on. PCM sending properly signal. By me unplugging the connector.
could my injector be stuck open???What I am trying to attempt is to start it to blow all that gasoline out of that cylinder. I did an oil change and replace oil filter already. It was so washed out. Or is it possible the injector is stuck open and gasoline will just spew out again. Anyone run into to this sticky situation. Thanks again.

How many miles are on your 2011?
You removed the #6 spark plug and the gasoline continues to spew out? The engine cranks with the plug still removed AND gasoline continues to spew out?
Too bad you can't get your hands on a single injector to test "in place".

It’s a work truck. For our terminal Not sure how many miles. I would say over 100K. When I use my remote starter. And cranking it. It blows out all the gas and just compression comes out. But soon as the cool is hooked up. I crank it over with key blows out gasoline. So I determine it’s an isolated incident. So I order all new injectors due to age. It would be nice if I had a spare injector. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Will report back with my results. I’m sure the injector should be the culprit.
