Bad injectors?
I finally got a day to myself, at least a couple of hours without moving stuff or medical tests, so I swapped in these injectors:

Install went great, no leaks, but the car barely ran and my LC1 showed extremely lean. What could I have done wrong?
I reinstalled my old injectors and the car is back to normal. I just want to run lower fuel pressure for my 8psi.

What kind of engine management are you running?

I was just out running the car and noticed two things.
1st, with the fmu all the way tightened, it holds the fuel pressure (when pumped up with a hand pump) and doesn't go down. If I loosen it a few turns (to run a little leaner anyways), it bleeds off the pressure and I keep having to pump it to keep it up (hmmm..). So I am assuming I should not be running it turned all the way in.
2nd, I noticed a knocking sound down low, sounds like a train hitting the connections in the tracks. I am really not happy about this. Rod knock? The car only has 31K. How long do I have before catastrophic failure? I just really wanted to take this car on a few trips this summer.
(Edit: Just ran it again and its not so bad, its intermittent and might be valve related, we'll see. I don't care, I will push it around the track. Too much to do to the civic to track it, 217k mile honda crap.)
