Pull the spark plugs, if one is covered in soot, the injector for that cylinder is probably leaking. This is not common, but it does happen if the car has sat for a while and the fuel filter hasn't been replaced on a regular basis.

Beyond that, the fuel pressure regulator might be leaking, to test this, remove the vacuum hose from the FPR and look for wet gas, a sniff of gas may also indicate a FPR problem.

Finally, is the ECU throwing any codes? If yes, let us know what they are.
