ok so basically my car wont start with the stock injectors in. if i put my 550s in itll start but when i go to drive it will spit and sputter when hitting boost. also strangly, when i pull the fuel rail off to put the 550s in there is little to no fuel spilling outta my fuel rail. which makes me think something with the computer is off telling it to not feed fuel to my rail. or my fpr might be messed up or something. when i put the 550s in and pop the rail off after starting it a little, fuel spills out more. any ideas?

edit- also since this problem has started, i have changed ignition wires, changed a cracked coil pack, changed plugs, changed fuel filter, and fixed the idle position switch.

update, the car doesnt even start now. and smoke is coming from the little filtger on the cam cover, im assuming the smoke is coming from inside the cam cover and that is the ony place to vent.
 
I'd start by getting a guage on there to check fuel pressure. As for the fumes I assume its the valve cover breather hose, usually goes to the intake. Possible the pcv is stuck and allowing intake charge to get in somewhat.
