Asked by Mary Oct 14, 2017 at 12:05 AM about the 1992 Honda Accord EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 92 honda accord ex . 5 speed 2.2l 4 cyl . I
recently been having fuel syatem problems . I put
some fuel system cleaner through the tank ,
changed the fuel filter and the car ran better for a
few days. Then problems occured again .
Hesitation, loss of power , bucking at high speed ,
and rough idle. Car would constantly stall out . So i
had to replace a bad fuel pump . Car ran fine for a
week now the problems are back . Now i notice
leaking amd fuel smell around injectors . I recently
replaces all seals and orings for all four fuel
injectors.  Cleaned all four injectors amd Put it
together . Went to start the car , tje car started
really rough , then ran even rougher ( sputtering,
misfiring) and then stalls out after a few seconds
... what could cause this?? Should i mention the
new gaskets they gave me with the seal kit were a
little bit bigger then the old ones. . Maybe i didnt
put all the injectors back in the same spots they
came out ? Mayne i tightened the fuel rail too tight
? Are the injectors not seated properly due to the
fact that the newer gaskets were a little bigger ? ..
what could cause this ??. Pls any help or
suggestion would b greatly appreciated

Start with getting the correct O-rings. Also put a dab of silicone grease on O-ring to help it seal and not roll or get damaged going into the hole. Always look up torque specs and follow them. Just for diagnostic purposes, did you check fuel pressure after replacing pump?
