fuel is comin out where the fuel hose connect to the fuel rail, would this mean my fuel injectors clogged up, not workin when i crank up my car?

Fuel should just return to the tank via the fuel pressure regulator, as the lines are at higher pressure than the injectors use 99% of the time anyways.

Did you loosen up that fitting at any time, causing the little copper o-rings to get damaged? First action I would take is replace the rings on top and bottom of that fitting, and see what it does.

Yeah those are crush washers like the ones used for the oil drain plug, really only meant to be used once especially considering the pressure going through there. They're cheap and the dealer should have them in stock, start there.

i already replace the two washers, still doin the same thing

Then replace them again and check the sealing surfaces and make sure it is tight enough. That has nothing to do with your fuel injectors.

As I look at that pic again, shouldn't the hard pipe be going back between where the two sort of lips are on the back of the fuel rail? Possibly the way it is sitting, the bottom can't sit flush with the rail and it leaks?

Hawkze_2.3

Good call! It's installed at the wrong rotation

JusAccord

LoL i dont think so but ill check

JusAccord

its on there the righ way

Hawkze_2.3

Does it look like the pic in your first post?

JusAccord

yea, i even look inside where theres a hole that gas come out of and flows through the fuel rail, its on there right

minilogoguy18

It can be at any orientation and fuel will still flow as it should but the problem is that if you look at your pic that you posted the metal portion of the hose should go between those 2 prongs on the right. It's not sitting flush in the recess making it not seal and leak.

Then it's not rotated correctly like we were saying...put the metal portion of the hose through those 2 tabs.

ok im about to do that now

JusAccord

can someboyd show me, like a picture on how its suppose to go, ive tried and theres no other way, im even lookin it up on google images

im used to seeing the fuel line attached to the opposite end of the fuel rail

JusAccord

it fits just like this, ive tried different ways, didnt work, and the hole wouldnt line up wit the other hole on the fuel rail thread hole, i took a picture from where it bolt in to the fuel filter

snobordboy

Ahhh got it, thats a JDM fuel rail, which should have a different line. If you still have the old H23 fuel rail, bolt it on there, and that hose goes to the Pass. side of the car and will fit right.

If you don't have the old one, and can't find another easily, get ahold of me, I have one sitting in my garage.

I had a h22a4 engine before n also this engine is h22a4 too, im gettin confused now lol

JusAccord

Maybe I jus got the wrong hose, it came with the car tho, the only thing I changed was the head and block

JusAccord

so i jus look it up on Bernardi.com, (by the way is a good site for honda parts) and im pretty sure i have the wrong hose from wha its lookin like, so ima need to buy a new one, anyone has for cheaper?

noonernoon

i had the same issue ther was a metal tab that is on the banjo i had to grind it off and the ther is actually 3 washers ther is 2 solid ones and then ther is the one thatlooks like a gear and the first pic is correct second is wrong and you will need to remove the line off of the fire wall (just the bolts so you will not have the pinch in the line

noonernoon

sorry both you pics is wrong the line needs rotated so the copper fit between those aluminum prong things

JusAccord

i jus look at another honda prelude (1998), dude had his jus like this, i didnt take his apart but i think i need another washer like you said on the bottom?

minilogoguy18

There are 2 washers, 1 on each side of the line.
