junk fuel injectors?
Ok so I just put in a set of 30# accell fuel injectors. The car is blowing white smoke. So I turned it off quickly! Also it looks like its blowing gas by the header gasket on cylinder 4 and 6. So what do you guys think is the fuel injectors sticking wide open?

junk injectors
I pulled the plugs its for sure the #4 injector. I have not started the car since this all. I have already decided to change the oil and filter before I start the car again.. Just to be safe!!!
Bless the guys at Summit.
I called them and they are going to send me a whole new set of 8!!! So when they get in I replace the bad one.
Guess this is why most guys use other injectors

ANOTHER Accel Injector problem post. I don't understand how they can sell the things.
Seems as if they give a LOT of trouble.
What about swapping the suspect injector with one from another cylinder to verify the problem?

Since nearly 30 years ago when everyone I knew who ever bought an Accel Super Coil experienced it's failure in a short time, I've avoided Accel's electrical products like the plague. Many stories such as this since that time have only reinforced my point of view re/ Accel's junk. Since Summit is willing to address the situation, I'd advise requesting replacement with another brand, such as FMS if they offer those, and pay any difference willingly.

Especially Summit. Hate to guess how many sets/complaints they get!
