I can't believe I was so stupid to keep wasting time with that stupid thing! But hey, it looked real pretty sitting in the driveway.

For those of us who want reliable transportation it's better to have a good cap, than a good looking cap that wont work! ;)

It turns a good running motor into a bad running motor.

I called accel and spoke to one of the technicians yesterday and he acted very suprised with my complaint. I am curious to see just how many people have had problems with these caps besides me. I know I'm not the only one. Its funny, I can't seem to find any reviews on these caps. I guess that should tell us all something.

and how much do those caps run?
i almost want to get one just to test it out.

I honestly don't know anyone that has had one. Only what everyone else said.

I've had a few friends who put them on cars with exposed engines that get a lot of face time. They all have stories of failures, so I can't imagine it's a surprise to the makers. I think it's just better to act surprised than to tell you they've had a lot of complaints, and haven't fixed the problems.
