I took the injectors off to see what i could see... put them back in... tried to crank it... and it stopped turning over after probibly 8 revolutions.... Smelled like gas... I didn't get gallons in there i hope but i'll have to get new o rings and stuff.

This should be in some kind of "SR20 won't start" FAQ

If they are really stubborn, take out the fuel rail and use a large set of pliers to "press" them out.

i got on them with the vicegrips. I put them on the square part (not the plug) and twisted. The eventuially came out.

It looks like there is a special too just for pulling them tho'. Those holes in the sides of the plastic just look too convienent not to be there on purpose. Maybe you could stick a flathead in there with something like a small block of wood on the fuel rail and pry them out?

make sure you get the fuel out of the combustion chamber or it will slowly creep down around the pistons and mix in with your oil. The gasoline will breakdown the oil pretty quickly and it will lose it lubricating properties. Bad news for the motor.

I guess I'll just vice-grip mine from the top.

Yah it was already in the bottom end. I'm going to do an oil change and turn it over a bunch to be sure there's oil everywhere that there's suposed to be.
