2011 4.0 Litre raw gasoline smell on dipstick & At tail pipe

here are the FC I pulled on scanner
1. P0219. Engine Over Speed Condition
2. P1489. PCV heater control Circuit
3. P2196. 02 Sensor Signal Stuck lean bnk1sen1




Heavy raw gasoline smell on dipstick
I pulled out all spark plugs. Thinking it was
a stuck injectors. All spark plugs dry no gas contamination. When idling white smoke and fuel out of tail pipe.

I had a 2011 in the past with hydro lock situation
it was cyl#6 injector stuck flood the cyl.
not this case. Engine runs rough like it had misfire. But no mis fire codes. I was going to remove. Throttle valve and various vacuum lines on engine. See if raw fuel can be detected.
is it possible. In tank fuel pressure regulator
be the culprit. I might pull all plugs again and do a compression. Test.

any help would be appreciated.

Update. Found the source

Ok update. Went ahead and did compression test on all Cyl#s. #3 soon As I cranked over engine with my remote starter for test. Raw gasoline shot out every where. Bad Order injector. Due to age. I will be replacing all injectors.
