Ok the gas is pouring out of the air filter, out of all wholes in the throttle body, all vacuum hose lines.
A mechanic came and look at it and said that the fuel injectors are not closing, we got all the gas out of the the engine but when we tried to start it again the gas kept pouring into the engine.
Can it be a computer malfunction?, all fuses ok, battery ok, check engine light on.

Im scared for my car. (I LOVE MY HONDA!!)

One more thing i have a check engine light for egr valve, and its caused by poor electrical connection, how to fix?, the mechanic also said, cause i asked, if i reset the light using the fuse it wont work, because i thought if you reset after the gas is out it might work.

Ok. You are obviously getting gas into the intake system.

Here are the causes that I can think of.

1. The injectors not closing could be the cause
2. The fuel pressure regulator is torn and pulling gas into the intake.

That is all I can think would cause this large of a gas leak.

Pull the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Turn the key to on and see if gas pours out of the fuel pressure regulator when the system pressurizes. If that is the case, put a new FPR on there.

As for the injectors not closing, each injectors have two wires. One always has 12V and the other should be open. The ECU grounds the wire to allow the injector to open.

Fix the gas part first, then we can discuss the EGR problem.

As soon as i turn the key gas comes out of the injectors and i cant afford to loose a full tank, already lost half, if i remove the hose from the FPR will this cause the injectors to still inject or is this a trial and error method?

Unplug the electrical connection to each injector. Then turn the key on (don't try to start the car).

There is a metal clip around each plug that locks those into place. You need a small screwdriver to pry both sides apart to pull the connector.

By the way.... How do you know that the injectors are immediately leaking gas?
