Hi Tracy, 

Well, it looks like your hunch ab= out the diode being bad wasn't very far from the truth.  Actually, when= I started looking,  R2 & R3 both had diodes, but not R1, the d= iode was actually missing from R1.  If that wasn't bad enough, I a= lso discovered that some time in the past, while changing intake designs, sw= apping injectors, etc., I ended up with the diodes on the secondaries instea= d of the primaries.  So, I just wanted to check to be sure as to how th= ey are intended to be wired.  Can you please explain so that I can mayb= e get it right this time?  

Thanks,
Mark
