So I was working on my because it wouldnt start and as soon as I removed the third spark plug smoke started coming out. Does it mean the fuel injecter is seized?

I'm guessing you worked on it because it wouldn't start, not would.

You tried to start it after removing the spark plug?
Why?

you probably have a blown spark plug gasket..oil might be getting in to your piston from the gasket and then being burned, thus causing smoke..thats what i think.

spark plug gasket?

lots of confusion in here.....so you tried starting it with the plug out? or what? smoke just doesn't come out of a hole when it's not started.

i know what it is kid... the wiring harness for your ignition coil is fucked!!! you need to zip tie it to your aem intake tube!

if a injector was seized the only thing to make anything really come out of the hole would be blow by from the piston rings..

replace your plugs because its cheap and easy
do a compression test because its cheap and easy.
check your injector because its free. there are a few ways to do this
ohm test
full the whole rail and crank it a bit
lisin and see if its clicking
switch it out for another one
ect..

do that and get back to us with something logical.
