piston #3 injector seems to squirt out gas when turning over. facing the front of the car it squirts to the right.

 

like a bad injector seal?

 

yeah i think so. any suggestions?

 

Get new ones from Honda and throw em in!

but the engine only has 30 thousand miles on it. could it be something else like, an incorrect dizzy, or no spark. maybe thats why IDK. but if i find nothing on this **** i'll just go buy a new one.

you're willing to buy a new distributor but arent willing to buy some $2 grommets?

over tighten the fuel rail? forget to add the plastic spacers? could be a number of problems. but the distributor wouldnt be the first part i'd look at.

 

i was thinking of that to. may i'll go to my local dealer to get some seal for it or something. hoping thats it.

 

a friends car did that too but we just unbolted the fuel rail again and then bolted it again and it worked great.

 

any body know what this piece is called?


see that piece i'm holding. i think that was the reason why it was spraying.



it goes on there like that.

 

You are missing an O-Ring on the injector in the pics unless you already removed it. The piece you are holding is the Filter Screen. All injectors need that as well.

my o-rings look fine.

 

So you removed the top o-ring then. That filter can't cause you situation fyi.

 

i think the o rings sits on the head bottum of the injector.

 

You are missing the Green seal on you injector unless you already had removed it before you took the pictures. It belongs on the top of the injector right below your filter.

EDIT: Right above where he's pointing

 

so thats what I'm missing. that could cause it to leak correct?

 

MOST Definitely!!!

 

alright thanks alot. i'll check it out.

 

the part you took out of the injector is the injector filter it stops crap from getting stuck in the injector. make sure it is clean and it should sit flush in the top of the injector. get the other rubber and you should be set
