Default Probelms with 99 civic si. fuel maybe?

ok so i drove to work and my car had no problems. i take out my injector plugs for safety, and later i started my car. it started boggin like it had not enough gas or something. i thought maybe i messed up the wiring. well today i check my spark plugs and in the 4th cyliner it was full of what seemed to be radiator fluid from the smell. started the car and it started up fine.no problems. then i started the car up 2 more times and it started again. i checked the plugs again and there all dry. so idk what else to do.

Dude, don't be unplugging injectors. You can pull your main relay, add a fuel kill switch, get an alarm, clutch lock etc.

There are much better alternativesthan pulling your injectors. I would jave seriosly never thought of that.
