Hi Dave,

 

One of the first things I would do it use the two simulation modes of the EC2 to verify (or not) that all connectivity to the injectors and ignition is there.  It sounds like you spark is probably OK.  But, without the engine running, turn on EC2 power (CPU and injectors)   (but NOT the fuel pumps) put the EC2 in mode 1 (with fuel pumps OFF) and push the store button.  The injectors should click like crazy simulating firing at 3000 rpm and you should easily hear them without the engine running.  They will continue clicking until you remove power or move the mode  selector wheel to a different mode.
