I just replied to your PM...you need to get it on a scanner and see what the computer is doing when that happens

If it is starting to blow a head gasket, I wonder if that's messing with the O2 sensor and causing a rich mixture/gas smell?

Sometimes the lack of seal (from a head gasket problem) will kill the vacuum necessary for antifreeze to pull in from the overflow tank.

WHAT YEAR????????????
OHM the injectors, there is a sticky by FIC about injectors.
Do this while the engine is warm, basically if the fuel injector is under 12 OHM's, replace.
