Why didn't you tell us that you added some junk to your gas in the very first post?
"it all started when i added fuel injector cleaner to the fuel. Since i have been having problems."

Do you think it is possible that some dirt was dislodged and is now keeping an injector open? You mentioned gas smell, have you driven your tank to empty yet? Has it been at high rpm since you added the injector? The cleaner is designed to be used on a road trip, not to sit on your tank for several weeks and only drive it on Sundays.
You may want to take it to a real mechanic to clean the injectors.
