after soaking, loosen the lines at the injectors and pump or crank til the fuel squirts out at the fittings,tighten and glow up for 45 seconds and try again. may need to re glow a second time if it only tries to fire.those injectors will not just bleed on their own. the electric pump wont push the fuel past the pump. the gray smoke was probably what ever you sprayed into it trying to get it to run or over fueling.
