Just checked the injector wires - driver's side has the masking tape. Whew. I should add I just installed new injectors less than 500 miles ago.... so mismatching the wires was a possibility I had not thought of kankeL. Thanks!
Thank you Atalante83 for clarifying. I do not think my intake is deformed because I cannot get the air leak to show itself with starter fluid, fogging oil, etc. Plus the CEL went away immediately after I installed new intake seals. Only to return just 10 miles later.
