Need help fuel issue - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I haven't made an account on zilvia till now due to the reason that I usually found all my answers, but I haven't found an answer to this. So one day I noticed one of my injectors was loose so i tightened it. When I started the engine the whole thing bogged and stuttered. I bought a new injector thinking that one was clogged or something and I put it in and the same thing is happening. The engine is a stock KA24DE. Someone please help.

To elaborate, run the fuel system with the rail un-installed, so fuel is pressurized and circulating through the rail and all the hoses, as if the car were running. This way, any leak may be detected, it will smell like fuel.
