Default car acting weird....

I need some help.... injectors were leaking last monday. I found out that the o-rings were worn out. Left the car parked with the fuel rail and injectors off of the car, when I finally got to replace the o-rings today, the car started like normal, idled the same at about 900-1000 rpm's but it sounded different... It had a deep low tone to it before all of this happpened but now it sounds like a freakin harley.... I left the car idling for a while but nothing happened... I drove it around the block and its like its not getting any power... Its really hard to explain, can it be the timing? any comments would really be helpful!!!
Oh yeah, its a gsr engine on a '95 civic.... thanks in advance.....

I really don't know much about honda's but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't affect your timing changing out those o-rings. Since your car ran "ok" before you put the new o-rings in and it runs like ass afterwards, it only seems logical that you messed something up with the injectors/o-rings/fuel rail. Just go back and recheck everything before you start looking elsewhere.

I know its kinda weird, but that's all I did.... took the injectors off, replaced the o-rings then put them back to where they were before... maybe my injectors are bad??? would an ls injector work on a gsr???

check to make sure that they are all pluged in and in the right order that is one of your problems if it was running fine before. it is something as simple as that.

it doesn't smell like fuel anymore and its not leaking, the o-rings took care of that. Is there a certain order of how the injectors would go? I'm pretty sure I put them back the way thet were....

no certain order, but what color smoke if any is coming out of the tail pipe and did you take injectors out one at a time to see if they spray. you didnt put any different injectors in did you, did anything get into the fuel rail was there any corrosion, tell us everything you can.

Also how long did they sit out of the car? I have had some good injectors and when I let them sit for a few days and came back they dried out and were shit after that.
