Hello all

I just recently replaced my fuel injectors on my D16Y8 with OEM reman injectors from eBay. When I installed them I soaked the seals in gas. Now when I turn the car on the engine wants to bog down but when I give it some gas it starts to idle around 800 RPMs consistently and as i'm driving I noticed a huge decrease in power and I also noticed a hint of gas smell inside the car. So I tried to both reset the ECU and do a idle relearn on the throttle body. I am still having the same issue after the fact and I just got two error codes P0171 and p0170. Could it be that I just have bad new injectors

 

Smelling gas inside the car likely means there is a leak.

Don't soak the seals in gas. Put motor oil on the o-ring where the injector goes into the fuel rail for easier insertion. You don't need to use anything on the seal on the manifold end.

Yes I would put the old ones back in.

 

I'm not surprised REMAN injectors are a joke! They cannot rebuild the internal seals! I went through this recently on my civic.The original injectors went bad, replaced them with re-manufactured injectors, one of the WORST ideas ever. I ended up with lack of power, then mpg's, eventually the car was bogging down. I read the live data on my OBD2 scanner, the fuel trims were running extremely rich! That was it, time to buy new!

I bought the Standard Motor Products (SMP) brand of NEW injectors, turns out they're made in USA! I think it's the south carolina manufacturing plant. Got them from summitracing.com (about $80 each) and it was drop shipped directly from SMP. I haven't had another issue at all! I would suggest you get new injectors then thank me when you see how much better your engine performs!

So again.. people listen!! Do NOT buy reman injectors, only buy NEW, unless you like to have problems.
