    I have a 91 civic lx 1.5. I just changed the distributor, fuel filter, 4 plugs AND both fuel injectors(dual port system). The car seems to run fine, even though it will not start up right away. But still getting that code 16. I am smelling no gas, and it sound like the injectors are...

    fuel injector install question

    I was just wondering, if the new injectors would come with O rings, and if they would be on the injector already. I pulled both of the injectors out of the car yesterday, and i noticed 1 of them had the O rings all loose and were able to spin pretty easy. I am just wondering if this may be...

    fuel injector install question

    According to step 5, it says to coat O rings with oil then put them on the injector. OK, i have brand new injectors coming eventually. So do i need to take the O rings off and coat them?, or just coat them while they are on the new injector?. Or do nothing at all, and insert them into to...

    Can someone help me with a 1991 fuel filter replacement ?

    Yes it does, that is why when i finally got it back on, and tightened it, it wasn't tight enough, and apparently the fuel was hitting the hole inside the bolt. With a neighbors help , he wrenched, and i made sure that filter did not move a hair. Apparently the hole inside the bolt is lined up...

    1991 civic lx 1.5 engine. I am in the process of removing distributor and noticed a small amount of oil coating the back part of it, which is the metal part. Is that normal?. I have never changed a distributor before so i wasn't sure what to expect. Any tips with the install besides that...

    Can someone help me with a 1991 fuel filter replacement ?

    I am missing something here. I don't know what is wrong with me, but apparently no one can answer me when i am asking about what bolt needs to have a wrench on it to remove it from the filter. Does the 12 mm stay on or off? Does this in anyway matter if this is tightened into the threads of the...

    Can someone help me with a 1991 fuel filter replacement ?

    I wished it helped, but it doesn't. So the 12mm stays on or off while the whole fitting is removed?. Does it need a wrench on it while the fitting is removed?. I think you are giving me removal procedure from a very different model. . If you got a Haynes, please go to that page (1 32) and...

    Best way to check injectors

    I am used to Nissans so please bare with me. Does a 1991 Civic Lx have only 2 injectors or are there 4 and i can't locate 2 of them. Stopped by the boneyard, and pulled 2 out of a donor car. a top and bottom one. Would it be wise to just switch the injectors in the car with these, and see...

    Still can't get the car to run, what now?

    It was water, not fuel. I had gas on my hands and gloves which was throwing me off. I took a drop and tasted it. Absolutely H20, with a little white smoke besides that.

    Still can't get the car to run, what now?

    I was going to start codes/ removing cat, but since i live in St pete florida, we are going through a massive, and i mean massive rain storm at the moment. I started the car, it ran rough, and it seems like gas is dripping out of the exhaust pipe. Is that a tell tale sign of anything?

    Still can't get the car to run, what now?

    I will do it the way you suggested. I was just getting some different info that is all. Do i need to start by pulling the 7.5 amp fuse, and or the battery terminals off, to reset the computer?. Or do you recommend that is a step i can avoid doing?. I just want to do it right, so that is why i am...
