My car is a '97 Civic LX with D16Y7. I am installing new injectors with new clips. So I got to the part of taking everything out, put the new injectors into place. Now, the new injector clips I have are just the clips with two wires coming out of the other end. I have the old injector clips with two wires also coming out of the end, still on my car. How do I connect the new injector clips?

Do I just cut the wires to the old clips and splice the wires of the new clips onto them? Please Help!!!

Ok, I just read a thread about splicing wires, so I went ahead and did that. Now I am having a problem with a fuel leak. I installed the injectors and reassembled everything back together. I made everything extra tight as well. When I start my car, fuel start leaking out at the top of the fuel rail. I think its at the fuel return line connection. I tightened it and it still leaks fuel. The car starts, but it sounds like its about to die. When I press the throttle, nothing happens. I am guessing its because there is no fuel pressure. The fuel spills out when I turn the key two clicks as well, the click right before you start the engine.

Do you think the injectors are not working?
I reassembled the fuel rail wrong?
Suggestions?

What kind of injectors do you have?

Did the injectors come with the rubber o-rings? Don't install them without the o-rings.

Did the injectors fit snug in the fuel rail. Usually with aftermarket injectors, the rubber o-rings are usually a little too big which causes them not to fit into the fuel rail properly.

did you put the washers back on either side of the fuel feed banjo fitting?

can you post a picture showing where it leaks from?

did you re-tune your car for these injectors (assuming they're bigger than you had before)?

Ya, I bought a chipped ecu from phearable.net with the bigger injector size as specs. I put all the washers back in. The fuel feed banjo, what is this? If your talking about the main fuel line going into the fuel rail, then yes, I did put two washers back into it. I'll post up some pics soon.
