So poorman i see you separated the injectors from the fuel rail, i was just wondering if you had any issues with air in the fuel system afterwards as i always leave the injectors in the rail and separate them at the bottom side.

Either way original poster it is a very easy procedure.

Personal pref.....since there is like 40 psi in the fuel system, any air in the fuel system will be gone in about 1/2 second.

The real worry is an air leak/fuel leak around the injector.......pulling the rail from the injectors, I only have to worry about a fuel leak into the injector....fire, fire, fire ....EDIT: If you pull the injectors from the intake, then the worry is an air leak around the lower seal(s) of the injector(s).

Hence, why I highly suggest new o-rings for the top of the injectors.....at the dealer they are $2 a piece.....so $8 in o-rings......call it a day.

Again, just the way I do it. Others do it their way.....I hate chasing a weird idle issue, a leak at the top of an injector is pretty easy to see/smell. A leak from the lower seal(s) and you spend forever chasing the idle....Just me.

Good catch... I did not check and clean the ports. I'll dig up the "how to" on that.

Great picture Poorman. That helps.

Thank you very much guys! I'll provide an update when I clean those ports.

Here is a link from the "Common DIY Threads" sticky at the top of this section: https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...56/#post245852

or this one as well: 95AccordEGR

The pic's from hondadude are even better.....and he leaves the injectors in the intake as well guess where my personal pref came from?

Thanks Poorman, that made it easy!

This is my first Honda at age 50. I recently picked up the 17 yr old car for $500, hoping to drive it 26 miles to work (so we could park the 12 mpg 3/4 ton Yukon XL). The Accord was really rough, especially the interior. I put an additional $2300 into it and everyone called me crazy. Well, now it's in pretty decent condition and I'm smiling all the way to work. This board has been a great resource for me to bring this baby back to life! Thanks to all.

Well I finally got the EGR ports and housing all cleaned out. Each port was open, but about half blocked. The EGR housing was only finger tight, if that. I'm guessing a leak could have contributed to some rough running. Did the relearn thing afterward and she runs much better. Thanks to all who posted instructions! Priceless!!

i had a similar problem with my 96 ex. i replaced the icm, ign coil, cap and wires and the stumble was still there. i got to thinking that maybe there is a stored code in the ecu, so i pulled the ecu fuse, and disconnected the negative side of the battery for about 10 minutes and hooked it back up, and the stumble went away.
