Buly,
Here's one sentence from Tracy's email to me about a week ago concerning the NO vs. NC terminal on the injector relay.  (The rest of his email is not relevant to this topic.)
 
<snip>
Duh... Sorry about that.  Should have read  "The Normally Open contact is now used instead of the Normally closed  contact."
 
<snip>
 
So, make certain that the lead that goes to the EC-2 from the injector relay is connected to the Norally Open terminal on the injector relay, and not the Normally Closed terminal.  It is my understanding that this wire is the ground for the secondary injectors.  If you haven't switched this connection, that very well could be the problem.  Let us know what you find.

Buly,
Sorry for the brevity.  "NO" is for Normally Open, "NC" is for Normally Closed.  The injector relay has an "NO" terminal which the contacts are open when unenergized, and an "NC" terminal which is closed when unenergized.  When Tracy did the snubber upagrade, he instructed me that the wire connected to the NO (or NC) terminal needed to be switched from how it was before the snubber upgrade.  Sorry, I don't remember which one is the correct one. Check the schematic furnished with the new manual.  (Not the one showing only the injector circuit as it is incorrect.  Use the more detailed one towards the back of the manual, it is correct.)
 
If I can find his NO vs. NC email, I'll repost it.

Thanks Mark.
