Do these checks and get back to us. Turn the key ON (do not start.) Do you hear the fuel pump relay click once when the key goes ON and again ~1 second later? After this 1 second the fuel pump should not be running. Is it still running? With the key still ON (not started), go to the engine and push the throttle open. Do you hear a series of clicks as the throttle is opened, but nothing as you release the throttle? If you hear these clicks you should be able to put your hand on each injector in turn and actually feel that each one vibrates during 1/2 of the clicks. START the engine and measure the voltage between the D+ terminal on the generator and ground when the engine speed is something medium (well above idle.) It should read close to 15 Volts. What do you measure?
