Release pressure from fuel line by removing fuel pump fuse and attempting to turn engine over. It may start for a few seconds but will die shortly after.

Remove fuel rail bolts and electrical connections. injectors should now pull out with a little effort..

Why does a car engine smoke and smell?
It depends on what color of smoke and how it smells. The question is somewhat vague. However, if the smoke is white it is due to burning oil. Black is from burning gasoline. If the smoke is coming from the exhaust pipe then you either have leaking valves or oil is blowing past the piston rings, both are significant problems. If the smoke is coming from under the hood the most likely issue would be leaking valve covers or a leaking PCV valve. Hope this helps, if not give some specifics on the smoke and I can better help you.
