Default Engine pops, loss of power, smell of fuel

Hey, all!
When I try to accelerate quickly or am going up a hill, my engine makes a series of popping noises accompanied with a sharp drop in RPM and torque, and I can then smell fuel in the cabin (especially if I immediately stop).
Time to install a new fuel pump or injector(s)?
Thanks!
