The 4g will work but check that they use a resistor box. That's the key to Honda/acura injectors.

Wow. If I had a dime for every post about leaky injectors...
You guys are lucky. Mine started leaking around 1996, when the car was a mere whipper-snapper at seven years of age. I replaced the seals, not having this forum and not knowing about the injector issue. It cost $50 to do all four and the they continued to leak. I replaced all of the injectors and they were still leak free in 2012. That makes me think that the new replacement parts may be "improved."
Regardless, I wish we could put a sticky FAQ thing stating that, if you still have original injectors, when you smell gas and see the stains, you just need to replace them. I can't tell you how many times the replies start out as "replace the seals." What a waste of money and time. Just replace the injectors and be done with it.
According to the internet... Fuel injectors from theese cars will not only fit, but are the same. Part number and all...

You never know 'til you try though, haha
I had the same problem when I bought my Accord. For around 200 bucks I replaced em with 4 new injectors and all new o rings.
My O rings werent fitting right and she still leaked slightly. I took the injectors off, rubbed a bit of gas on the rings and popped em back in. Never leaked since.
Just buy 4 new injectors and rings, it'll be worth not having to ever worry about em for a while.
My Accord did the same, and I did the same lol. Just buy injectors and good injector seals.
First I tried replacing just the seals with some cheapo ones. When I replaced the injectors the cheap seals I put in previously had turned to complete goo from the gasoline exposure!
New injectors and seals though has got my 87 LXI running like a champ!

It means your 3g wants better gas. Use a top tier gas instead.
A best practice is to oil the seals before installing. Even so, you may still have to "seat" the seals by rotating the injectors back and forth a little after getting everything back together. Don't wiggle too much though, or you'll have an even bigger leak.

I thought that was pretty cool, too. I didn't replace mine all at once. As I said, it was pretty early in my Honda career and I didn't have this forum. The first one was purchased from A&H Motorsport (OEM). The second one was from NAPA. The third and fourth were purchased together from RC Engineering. All came with new seal and o-ring so you should not have to buy those parts separately.
I was just checking out the RC Engineering website and can't make heads or tails of it. You don't go in and buy injectors for an '89 Accord. You have to choose from "Peak and Hold" injectors or "Saturated Fuel" injectors. From there you get a bunch of pics with different codes. There doesn't seem to be any guidance about what will fit our cars.
Can someone help me make sense of this?

^^Paul, I had the same experience in 1997 - or, around that time - when I replaced my last two. I actually had to call them and explain what I wanted. Back then they tested injectors for Honda and they sold the test subjects for $42 a pop. They same with one-year warranty and they lasted on the car for at least 15 years (still good when I wrecked it). Try calling and asking. RC may not be the place to go anymore.
I bought mine from Autozone and they popped right in. I don't reccomend the JP Sorenson ones they sell though. One was defective right out of the box, no hassles in exchanging it of course.
