This makes sense once you remember that the firing order is 1 4 3 2. I think you will find that the "hot" wires to 2 and 3 are fed from a common connection in the brain, so if 3 works it cannot be a brain problem. As I recall, if you pull the connector out of the brain you can see that the same PC board land feeds the pins for both injector hot wires. The more common problem here came when Bosch introduced new injectors in the 70s that used connection pins that were just a couple of thousandths of an inch thinner than the originals. This leads to bad connections at the injectors. The fix is to carefully remove the female pins from the connector blocks and VERY CAREFULLY squeeze them slightly more closed. DON"T GET CARRIED AWAY OR OVERDO IT! Then they will be snug and make good connections on the injector pins. 71 is probably the best year of the FI era for overall realibility and performance. My favorite year. Well worth getting in shape. > Could anybody help me with the electric diagram of the computer? Never seen one. If you find a source, I'd be VERY interested.
