Hi Buly,

OK, gotcha.  Not too many changes.  I know it's been mentioned to try the old wires, and I also know what a pain that would be to do.  Have you actually tried that?  If not, do you have a spare injector that you could wire up temporarily?

Basically, I'm suggesting that you disconnect one injector, then temporarily connect a spare injector in it's place.  You'd run 12V to one side, then connect a jumper wire from the other side, to the EC-2 connector that goes to the injector you unplugged.  Put the EC-2 in simulate for the injectors, and see if the jumpered injector works while the others don't.

I admit that I've been skimming through all the posts, so if you've already done this, just disregard this message :-)

Being a retired guy with nothing better to do, I'd think Ed would run down there to give you a hand.  Nah, I'm sure he couldn't fix it (snicker, snicker)  :-)

Rusty (trouble is my middle name)

Rusty, I cut all the wires to the secondaries, hoping that the primaries will kick in. Didn't work. Not only that, but the blasted NOP is blinkin, blinkin.....
I wouldn't do this to Ed. He has a full plate as is, but you are closer :)
