I'll pull the injectors tonight maybe. But again, when the #1 and #3 injectors go out, they go out together.

And it is indeed just a pulse. A tiny pulse. But enough that I can see all 4 injectors getting the electrical signal when all 4 cyls fire. After driving/idling for a while and the engine reverts to just 2&4, I get no more pulse at 1&3. But I do still get the tiny pulse at 2&4. So I am sure that the dead 1&3 injectors, when they are dead, are not getting the electrical signal. And 1&3 go out/come in together. > The problem with this theory is that the 1&4 injectors and the 2&3 > injectors fire together, not 1&3.

OK, I am sure that the injector wiring for #1 and #2 is OK because these injectors still have their color coded boots over the connectors (black in front, grey in back). But the #3 and #4 injector wiring has been cut up and spliced to the point there are no more numbers or boots at the ends of the wires. I'll retrace and check continuity of all injector wires back to the ECU to see if they match the FI wiring diagram in Bentley. I'll do the same for the trigger contact wiring. I have a butchered harness I salvaged from my old '70. The injector wiring for 3&4 is still intact, so I think I'll splice it into my '69 harness some time soon. Thanks so much to everybody who is offering advice here and suffering through this with me. I just hope I can get to the bottom of this before my wife gets too fed up with me spending so much time on the car. She keeps threatening to make me buy a Volvo (hmmm a P-1800ES sounds like fun... and it's even D-Jet..) -Mark Fuhriman '69 Fastback ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
