Hello, I own a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with a 420a Engine.
Since my car does not run well, I decided to replace the fuel injectors with new ones. I bought 4 new ones from PartsGeek and installed them yesterday. Once I was finished, I took the car for a spin and noticed a sputtering sound when I pressed on the gas and accelerated. Frustrated, I bought some additive that would supposedly help, it did not.
It took me a while since they are pretty hard to get to, so the thought of doing it again was gruesome. However, the next day I decided to take my time and clean the new injectors with gasoline and was very careful to not get them dirty when putting them in. Again, I took it for a spin and the same sputtering noise came on just a bit less this time. I also noticed poor fuel efficiency and a lack of acceleration.
Can anyone guide me in a direction please?
*Suggestions on how to install them properly? Do I take out the fuel rail or do I leave it in and do it from there?*
MAIN ISSUE: Sputtering after putting new injectors. Also what cc are they? Should I get other ones?
