Ok i dont know if i bought a broken injectors or not but my used sard 550cc injectors kept flooding the engine. I pulled the plug and cylinder number #1 is filled with gasoline to the top. I did read up instructions on how to install them and i swapped orings that i bought from the Nissan dealer. I even try to put double lower orings but that didnt solve anything. My question is that does injectors have polarity? like minus and plus. Im beat and i dont know what else to try. Thank you

Do you have any kind of fuel system to reduce their flow? When the computer tells a 370cc injector to flow at 50%, you'll get 185cc @ some fuel pressure going into the cylinder. Without fuel control, you computer will think you still have the 370cc injectors in their but instead will be flowing 50% of 550cc, flooding the motor. If you know that already the only thing I can think is that either your fuel pressure regulator is staying shut send fuel pressure out the roof or the injector is staying open 100% of the time.

Thanks for the reply. Yes i do have a computer. IThe computer has been tested on another car and it works fine. I have a feeling the douche bag sold me a broken injector. My car was running fine with 370cc until i swapped them over so i dont think the fuel reg is bad.

Ok it has been like 2 months and so last night i decided to work on my car. It turned out that the POS sard injectors caused a major fuel leak that when i drained my oil there was fuel in it. I drained like about a gallon worth of fuel and oil mixed together. So after that i dumped cheap oil Shell oil in and fired her up again and the engine started on first try. I already sold my SARD and got a new set of TOMEI. So what did i learn from this, SARD sucks. Well i dont know maybe it's just me but everyone else dont seem to have a problem. What i do like to point out though is that if you look at your stock injector and the SARD they dont seem to fit very well. I suspect SARD mass produce their injectors in one style to cut down production cost so in return they have fitment issue.

Glad you got it corrected. Some people don't relize that a stuck injector will end up putting raw fuel in the oil. Good thing you drained it. I know a guy at work that spun a rod bearing due to this.

Haha dude you dont know what kind of an idiot I am. At first I thought my starter was dying on me so i took my Audi and pushed the 240sx to get it to start. Thank god i didnt mess up any bearings or whatever. But yea i couldnt believe having too much fuel and oil mixed together will not start an engine.
