Hi Buly,

I was anxious to take a look at your EC2 as soon as I got back but since Bob’s EC2 did not work either I guess you decided not to send it in.

 

If everything said so far is true about this problem and the attempts to fix it then I am truly stumped.  I keep mentally going back to the ONLY thing that could explain all the symptoms:   Missing connection between the Injector return pins (19 & 37) and the negative terminal of the battery (ground).

 

BTW, Bob's EC2 may not have the diagnostic modes, can't remember when it was built or last updated.

 

If you can’t think of or find anything else, send the EC2 in for a check-up anyway.  I’ll pay for the return shipping just to satisfy my own curiosity.

You are up-to something Rusty. When I checked my look up tables, they 
were flat. Do you think Tracy flat lined my EC2? :)
I tried also with EM2 turned off. Injectors did not react.
  I'll be busy the next few days, trying to make money to pay for my 
extravagant hobby. But later I'll try all of your suggestions, than 
will start shopping for a carburetor.
