no, won't affect the injectors. and usually, the car won't start if it
doesn't know where tdc is - the ecu can't sequence the injectors.

go back to injector cleaner, make sure the plugs are in good condition,
along with the rest of the ignition system, /then/ worry about the egr
system, a much more likely and common fault on older accords.
