97 pathfinder

I was driving at about 90 km/hr and the truck's engine cut out on me. I then pulled over to the side and found a 7.5 amp ECCS fuse blown, I then replaced it the truck started back up. Shortly after 25 min i noticed cloud white smoke occasionally coming from the exhaust, and the accelerator had to be depressed further to even get the truck to move faster. Then i took notice the gas gauge was depleting quite quickly so i said from half a tank to empty in 5 min. Im thinking the gas is dumping somewhere but where

With all that in mind I scanned the truck codes came up P1445; that code was never there before that fuse blew. So then i replaced the purge vacuum, and the evap canister and the fuel injectors and flushed and changed the oil. For reason to believe the gas mixed with the oil which it did, put some new plugs, cap and rotor.

you still following good; I then took the manifold off to run the truck, well to my amazement cylinders 3 and 5 where spitting out gas as well; enough to put your hand in front of it and in 4 seconds soak your hand with gas.

Is that a little better to understand

I have no idea what you just said. It was all just one big run on sentence. Remember, punctuation is your friend.

did you check the fuel pressure regulator? it sounds like you're getting high pressure fuel pushing right thru the injectors. hope that helps, i'm really more of a carb guy
