So I posted a thread sometime ago about my CB7 not wanting to start easily sometimes... http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=209306
And most of you pointed out that the problem is possibly a leaking fuel injector, Jeez, what would I do without you guys, and all this time I thought it was just because of the humidity or some crap. So I was wondering how I can test to see if its actually leaking, I would imagine this would require removing the injector and turning the key on a few times and looking for the leaking one. How does one go about removing said injectors? My car is at the body shop so I can't really have a look and get a basic ideas, I looked up a video of injector replacement on a CB7 but the camera was a potato and there was an earthquake going on through the entire video from what it looks like. I figured I'd ask the CB7 Community, its always good to have an expert give you some knowledge beforehand before just jumping straight into it and possibly ruin something imo.
Also, if I were to remove the injectors, is there anything I would have to watch not to mess up? like accidentally breaking a wiring harness, or a line, or screwing up seals? Is there anything other than the injector that is recommended to be replaced while the injectors are already out?
Does just the leaking injector need to be replaced? or is it necessary to replace all of them regardless of whether they work or not? (kinda like spark plugs) What's the best option for replacement injectors, OEM or aftermarket? (I would assume OEM) Any recommendations on where I can get good injectors? and can injectors from a different Honda be used? What is the average cost of a set of new injectors? Is this a good time to change out the fuel filter too? If none of the injectors are leaking, what could that mean for my occasional hard starting?
I know, I know, I'm asking a lot of questions, But knowledge is power
