Since the B problem was intermittent, there is a 99.99% probability th= at the flaw is in the relay that switches the injectors between A &= ; B controller injector driver transistors.  This is one of those case= s where the complexity of redundancy causes rather than cures a p= roblem.  (See current stories about the space shuttle now on the launc= h pad.)    This is the reason why I decided not to add the comple= xity of auto-switching of controllers in the event of a failure.  I ge= t asked about that a lot.
