Bad injector? Fuel in exhaust, backfire.
One of my injectors is bad, I think. It has a resistance of 3.xx and all of my others are about 11.xx (it was 2am or so when I got these). Cylinder 1 is misfiring because of this. On my way home it felt like the cylinder magically started working again, and about 3k I literately shot a fireball out of my car. Still while driving home the car would feel like it was misfiring and sometimes it would not, as well as popping in the exhaust when I let off the throttle. When I stopped at A stop sign, I could smell gas everywhere. I am getting a new injector today, what else should I expect to look forward to fixing?

New rubber seals. Depending on how old the current ones are, you could develop a leak. Also, depending on if your engine is a highport or lowport, it's either gonna be super-easy or super-tedious

Are you talking about the rings on the injectors? And my best assumption is they are 21 years old.

Yup, these rings: https://www.gspec.com/p-6078-injector-o-rings.aspx

See this thread for a worst case scenario, however, most people get lucky and can reuse their current ones:
