I ran my codes a while back and have the det sensor code and and injector circuit code. My question is about the injector circuit code. I have tried unplugging the coil pack connectors one by one with it running and they all made it run worse when I unplugged them. So I got a screw driver and put it on each injector and I could hear them all click and didn't hear any irregularities. I do have hesitation or miss in the lower rpms and I'm pretty sure it's form the injectors. I also have a gas smell which I think might be bad injector o rings. I am wondering why I am getting a code 51 if I am able to hear all the injectors click? Also could the hesitation be caused by clogged injectors?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Could be an intermittent problem...I'd check the resistance across all 6 of em

The hesitation is very consistent I just can't decide if I need to spend the money on all new injectors and things. But I will ohm them all today and then post back with the results.
