Default fuel problems...

ok, so im trying to start up the ZC, got my distributor problems taken care of, now the #2 and 3 cylinders seem to be getting an outrageous amount of fuel when cranking. as in standing puddle of gasoline on top of the piston when i look in the plug hole. anyone know what could be doing this? i think that i have a faulty injector, or resistor box, or maybe i have the wrong injectors on there. i do also have a set of prelude injectors that may have gotten mixed up with the ZC injectors, but im not sure how to tell the difference without finding a shop to flow test them.


Parker, who wishes he paid more attention during disassembly

How old are the injectors? I had the same problem when building my motor. I had 2 defaulty injectors.(stuck open) IM not sure how that could have occured but you might want to check that.
