Leaking fuel injector?

So I've been having some fairly rough starts on and off for the past week or so and today I smelt a bit of gasoline through the vents when I started the car up. Potentially leaking injectors? I'm going to pul the plugs after it sits over night and see if any are soaked with gasoline before pulling the fuel rail off to check that way. Any other ideas?

By rough start it sounds like the car is choking or stumbling while starting

Found a plug wire that may have been causing the starting issues along with other drivability issues because of a potential failing connection. Ripped apart when I was going to check my plugs. Car idles much smoother now it seems and almost seems more responsive with new wires. Here are what the plugs look like:

Passenger side:


Broken wire:


Can anyone tell me if those plugs look ok? They all have a small section of brown on them. Current mods are vararam intake, cat back exhaust, ported TB and a tune from Jannetty Racing.
