i just installed 450cc dsm injectores om my 98 civic.. everything appears that it seated properly but i am losing fuel pressure and ther isn't any apparent leakage...
my question is, any one ever had an injector stick open??

did you have them cleaned before you installed them... you could have a broken tip or stuck injector that leaking.

otherwise double check you seating of the rail and injectors... the leaks can be hard to spot.

and no smoking.

I'll extinguish my cigarette.......but if it was a stuck injector how would it become unstuck??.note: have not hooked injector clips up yet....just checking for leaks and saw saw it loosing pressure.

will injectors close once i hook them up electronical or are they spring loaded??

The power "pulls" the injector open against the fuel pressure... I don't think this kind has springs, but it might...

Be sure to check that the cyl is not flooded with fuel before you start the car!

You can also power/unpower the inj by connecting the clip w/o the fuel rail connected.. just be sure to pull the power for the fuel pump... then listen for the clicking
