I decided to upgrade by fuel injectors on my s14. I plugged them in everything seemed fine. but then the engine flooded with gasoline. and i didnt know. so i kept trying to start the car over and over again, and it was making some weird noise. so i checked the oil and it was filled with GAS!.so i drained the oil and about 2 gallons of gas came out the oil pan. i didnt know what to do, sooo i decided to put oil back into the oil pan and start the car. The car starts up for about 5 seconds and then dies off, and theres a bunch of smoke coming out by the valve and head. Im not sure what exactly i blew, but its white smoke and theres allot of it. And theres oil coming out the exhaust mixed with gas. I dont think the head blew cuz the coolant is perfectly fine If anyone could help i would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

just because your coolant is fine doesnt meant it couldnt be a blown head gasket, so it could still be your head gasket,

Thats alot of fuel! You must have really bad rings. Are the injectors stuck open? Did you somehow manage to pinch all the ground wires on the injectors? There is also a way to start it back up, its called "Clear Flood" mode, You have to hold the throttle all the way down and try and start it. When the computer see's 100% tps it shuts the injectors off. This wont solve your problem but at least you can start it and listen for any broken parts.

What type of upgrade are you referring to? If you're trying to use larger injectors without reprogramming the ECU, then there will be too much fuel injected. Too many folks think that by going with larger injectors on an OEM setup is going to give them more HP. Instead they end up with problems.
