Default car dies??

alright i got a 99 civic si with a drag gen III turbo 440RC injectors and hondata...today i went and started my car to let it warm up alittle and i came back and the check engine light was on, i went and drove it and it was fine, so tonight i started it up and went out there like 3 min later and it died, so i started it again and acouple minutes later it died.

so i let it sit and start it again and listen to see if i can hear anything, sounds like maybe my injecors might be lose cause i can hear alot of hair comin from them, but theres alot of hoses around there but its night time and i cant see so im gonna take alook at it tomorrow...any ideas

you should not be hearing any air from there... to be 100% sure thats were its comming from, get a piece of vacume hose or something simmilar to it. hold one end to your ear and the other as a probe to listen with. you will be suprised how good this works!

remamber that a check light turns on from having out of range readings from sensors or from no haveing any readings. i could be air or wires. do you have an A/F guage?

ook i just looked at it today....i let it run for about 10 min to see if it woudl die or not and it didnt, so i went and drove it and my boost is set at like 8psi but for some reason i guned it and watched the boost gauge and it went past 11psi so i let my foot off the gas...so im drivin home and it stalls at a stop light so i let the car sit for acouple minutes and start it up and it barely starts up and i cant rev past like 3k and it stutters alot

i park it at my house and look at the injectors and i see that 1 of the seals is broken on the 3rd injector, all the other injectors are fine... could a bad seal cause all of this??
