Hi Buly, been away at the mid-Atlantic Flyin for last two day.  Sorry to see that your problem has not going away.

I don't know if anyone has suggested this - but, if you can find a friend with an oscilloscope, it would be very quick and simple to see if the EC2 is putting out the triggering pulse.  If  the pulse train is OK at the EC2 end then the shield wire may be smoothing the pulse to the point that the power is distributed over time - diluting its peak value sufficiently that is unable open the injector.

 That and as has already been suggested - make certain the EC2 is really grounded to the rest of your electrical system ground.  There should be no voltage dropped between our EC2 box and the ground (negative) terminal of the batter.  If you take a voltohm meter and set it to a low voltage scale 0-2 volts for example.  The needle should remain at zero (or you might have a few 10s of millivolts - but nothing approach a volt.  If you do find voltage doing that test, that means you do not have an adequate ground between the EC2 and the rest of your electrical system.

Good luck and get back flying!

Ed

Just a shot in the dark, but you said you've buzzed the wires to  verify they're all connected.  Have you buzzed them to verify that  none are grounded to a neighbor?  I like to put my meter on the  diode test so that it beeps whenever it shorts.  Then I pick up  each pin individually and slide the other probe across all the  other pins to verify that I haven't bridged something somewhere.


I'll try this one too. Thanks Ernest
