my injectors are running 100% all the time. i think its cause my idle to be really high 1000-2000rpms sometime. also burning oil only sometimes at low rpms,1000-2500rpms and high load. at high rpms, 3500-8500rpms and high load car runs fine. also at night the car runs like i champ i am assuming colder air at night allows more of the fuel to burn through all of rpm range. engine generally performs better at night.
can anyone tell me why the injectors are wide open all the time. engine is an ls vtec with h22 345cc peak hold injectors with a resistor pack chipped p28 with ebay customized chip.

how can you tell the injectors are running 100% of the time? Again, so what you are saying is that the injectors are spraying fuel out at an alarming rate and aren't restricting their flow at any time?? This should be obvious to you but if what you say is happening is actually happening, then this would be the injectors are getting a short to ground. In fact, to test an injector, one of things they do is just wire it to the battery and the pintle stays open, you measure how much flowed out of the injector after a given amount of time and that is suppose to say if the injector is restricted or not.
In short..
Fix your wiring.

i did an led light test on the clips with the ignition on and the light stays on continuously. im thinking of doing the test while cranking the engine to see what happens. thanks

didnt really have anything else to run the car on. i dont really kno anyone on here to make me a base map. so i went with an ebay guy questioned him about how he would do the tune and told him i wanted a map just to break the engine in nothin power based. he has sold other chips and gotten good feedback from ppl say their cars are running good but maybe those ppl are clueless as i seem to be.

is this normal?

It's more than likely the customized ebay chip but, How do you have the injectors wired with the resistor box?

i have them wired with each of the 4 black/yellow wires coming from each injector going into its own resistor in series and coming out of the resistors going to the ecu all 4 wires are connected as one (i had tried running each to a separate wire thinking it would work the same but i ended up getting only one injector that worked and the car would start, so i wired them all together as ive seen in all the DIY guides and the car started). someone suggested that i may have the clips going to the wrong injector but the harness placement only allows the clips to go one way but i will check that too.
I trying to get another chip as soon as possible.

Here is how it should be wired. You may have it this way but it sounds as though you have it backwards.

Picture the one big resistor box in this image as 4 individual ones. (in your case) The resistors go on the 12v (+) BLK/YEL wires but it's the coloured wires that go to individual pins on the ECU. The injector circuit is ground control. The ECU grounds the circuit each time the injector is to fire.

i now realize that these wires carry power and the ecu grounds them to create pulses. based on how my led test went should i assume that the injectors a staying open because they are getting a little power somewhere and opening fully on each pulse as they should and thats causing the car to run rich but not that it floods?
EDIT: I figured out the answer is no because the ecu grounds the injectors for them to pulse anyway so i have a ground problem not a power source problem. i think? should the injectors be getting any power at all even enough to dimly power an led in between each pulse on start up?

Let me guess, it sounds like a wookie in full throttle and your plugs look like rat turds...
Reduce your fuel pressure, pull the J1, drive like a vagina, and PM me for a new chip;
it'll pay for itself in gas within a week.

But seriously it's your tune
I would suggest you resolve any malfunction indication codes if you have any. Double check your resistor box wiring & try a new eprom chip basemap.
It would naturally throw a light since your injector has electromagnet coils inside.you can't conclude that you're running at 100% duty cycle if you won't do a datalog which only aftermarket ecu's can, that includes cROMe, Hondata, etc..
