John,

I think you have a wiring problem with your injectors, disabling the
either the primary or secondary injectors should not kill the engine as
the EC2 senses this and uses the other pair.

One more thought John,
My Renesis ran on one rotor the first start.  I had swapped two of the injector connectors so both primary drivers were on rotor 2.   It would start OK because cold start runs all 4 injectors but as soon as I turned CS off, only rotor 2 ran (very rich) because it was getting the fuel for both rotors. The secondaries were off and those were both on rotor 1, so no go.   Worth a check.
