I don't think this will explain it. The delay doesn't change the mixture once the engine is actually running. I think it MIGHT make it a bit hard to start, however. Still, this doesn't seem to be a problem with properly functioning cars which have 2 cylinder that fire "early." > I remember the idling on 2 problem many hears ago, I dont remember the > outcome, but I think it was a mixture problem... you can replace the > head temp sens with a 5K potentiometer and then manually control the > warmup mixture curve, down to about 60 ohms when hot...

I don't think there is a mixture problem, unless you want to call no fuel at all a mixture problem. ;-) We've now got one pair of injectors, normally triggered by the same trigger point, which run normally until something happens and they both cut out at the same time. It has to be either the brain, the trigger points, or the wiring between the two.
