They probably aren't set right, you may need to go back and recheck all the o-rings/gaskets and see what kind of seal you're getting.

How do you know it's "flooding"?

How many did you change?

I replaced all six just to make sure they were all working the same. I used rebuilt pythons, wich were supposed to be the same as the factoryn ones. I've never checked the fuel pressure regulator.

I got only 45 miles out of half a tank. the exaust blows lots of white smoke which smells like gas. The car runs like it's misfiring real bad at all speeds.

either take it back apart and check that all the O-Rings are seated properly..its sounds to me like the O-rings on the injectors arent seated properly or missing

If you dont want to take it all back apart, bring it to a macanic or nissan and have them look at it..

I'll be nice. I can guarantee you didn't install the 0-rings correctly. Or used the old ones. You got gas flowing around the injectors and into the engine.

Start taking it all back apart...order Nissan O-rings...Make sure you put some oil on the O-rings before you push the injectors back into the fuel rail
