Default crx b18a1 problems

I having problems with my b18a1 crx starting in the morning. When i got to start it in the morning it takes abit for it to start. When it does start rpms slowly drop and it dies at idel like always on 2nd try it starts just fine. No codes brand new starter, dizzy, main relay, battery. could it be injectors? im using obd-1 injectors with the resistor box. I know that obd-1 dont need the box but my friend said i needed it since he has it on his h22 accord. b18a1 is obd-0 headers,exhaust,intake,msd ign. Another problem im having is that i hit a dip on the highway. I missed most of it but my right tire hit it still and my front right tire rubs when i turn right now. Im also hearing like a grinding noise too from the same side. got home and saw marks on my inner wheel well where tire is hiting now. tires never rub before i am lowered on gc coilovers i dont see anything broken.....any help appreciated

You may have tweaked your lower control arm when you nailed that pothole.

If you are running saturated injectors, you need to delete the resistor box. What your friend has is irrelevant to what you need.

fixed the wheel but it still rubs a little on the inside. Thanks im going to delete the box day andtr other injectors cuz when i put these ones on at first it ran like crap and was geting the injector code then when i put the box on code went away. ima try diff odb-1 or 2 injectors see if i can fix it not wanting to start in the morning.

being really low will make it rub, however if it didn't rub before then getting the ctr pulley won't actually be fixing the bigger problem.

I think the ctr pully would help because im only rubing on the middle part of the pully which is the ac. Idk which to replace pully or mounts cuz the mounts im using are off my old crx b18a1.
im not super low i have like a finger space between fender and wheel
