/close but no cigar. At least you were lucky enough to find someone
who knew that there WERE trigger points. One contact controls 1 & 4,
the other controls 3 & 2. (see the firing order in there?)

It IS possible that you have the wrong connectors on the wrong
injectors. Check the Bentley manual; I THINK the connectors with
grey covers go on the rear (rear is rear) injectors, 2 & 4. I don't
know if this might cause your problem.

Problem can't be there.
