Hi Tracy,=A0=20

Well, it looks like your hunch about the diode being bad wasn't ve= ry far from the truth. =A0Actually, when I started looking, =A0R2 & R3 = both had diodes, but not R1,=A0the diode was actually missing from R1.=A0= =A0If that wasn't bad enough, I also discovered that some time in the p= ast, while changing intake designs, swapping injectors, etc., I ended up wi= th the diodes on the secondaries instead of the primaries. =A0So, I just wa= nted to check to be sure as to how they are intended to be wired. =A0Can yo= u please explain so that I can maybe get it right this time? =A0
