Default #1 Cylinder Spark Plugs wet with raw fuel/Hard Start

Hi Everyone, have a 1990 Honda CRX si with b16a1, I've been experiencing for a very long time, hard start problem. Engine will crank, but will start after a few cranks. I removed the spark plugs on the weekend to find the #1 plug wet with fuel. Would this indicated a leaking injector? Anyone experience the same thing or have any advice? Should I replace the injectors as a set? What injectors should I use? Its a first generation b16a1. Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you

Sanj

well you might be right on the money for the sticking injector.
i would look around for a single injector you could get a decent
one from a wrecking yard just to check if thats the problem
no point buying all new injectors when they might not even be bad
you can get an injector from an 90 93 integra they are the same as
the ones in a b16

I think you need get new injectors, but I would check the wiring for that injector just to be sure.

Swap the suspect injector to another cylinder first before buying a new one. If the problem follows the injector, then it's the injector. If it stays on the same cylinder, it may be the ECU injector driver that's failed.
