well, my car was running like a real brute until one day it started sputtering, and missing while cruising @ 45. i threw some fuel innjector cleaner in it, but nothing happened. the problem got worse, and i replaced the wires and plugs, bosch wires, and delco plugs, and problem got better a little. i recently put used accells,(3,000 miles old) on my car about 2 months ago. MY QUESTION IS THAT I HAVE HEARD THAT ACCELLS GO BAD FROM THE HEAT AND CAUSE MISFIRES, BUT IF THEY TEST 7-8 OHMS CAN THEY STILL BE BAD AND CAUSING MISFIRES? THIS IS THE ONLY THING I SEE THAT I CHANGED, OTHERWISE I FEAR A BLOWN HEAD GASKET,BUT NOT SURE WHY? PLEASE HELP ASAP

found it!!!!! Although i was embarrasd to post, ANSWER- upon completeing my last oil change, my father who was giving me a hand put 5 quarts of oil instead of the 4.3 qts that the Haynes manual suggests, and the engine was choking. now there is no more purple smoke upon start, ( which scared me into thinking possible head gasket) thanks everyone for their help.
