gas fouling plugs

i have a 355 tpi that i just rebuilt and i put 24lb accel injectors in it and it ran fine for a few days now all of a suden it won;t start unless you hold the gas to the floor. when you pull th plugs out they are wet with gas. and it is smoking and missing. i was wanting to know if it could have soething to do with the fuel pressure
thanks

That all depends on what pressure you're running. I have heard that the Accel injectors may 'leak' more than others. If this is now just starting to happen, and the new injectors worked fine for a while, then I would say they are leaking. The engine will start at wide open throttle because it changes the mixture to an acceptable level.

If your TPI is speed density type, the MAP sensor could be bad or the vacuum hose to it could have a leak. Most common problem.
