A while ago my '85 Van was ransacked while I was (am) in the middle of
swapping from a 1.9 to a 2.1-liter engine. A bunch of connectors were cut,
things disappeared, graffiti was sprayed on, and a good time was had by
whoever did it. The City inspectors came though and tagged all the
vandalized vehicles - including my van. I got it running good enough for the
inspectors by bypassing a lot of engine controls and luck. Now I'm trying to
undo the damage that the vandals and I inflicted on the poor thing. I live
for this sort of thing, but I've run into a little problem. As I'm
straightening out the fuel injection wiring I noticed that the wire number
on the left side injectors (the fuel control, ignition module, and the 2
left side fuel injectors were the only connectors not cut in the engine
compartment) are, according to my Bentley, for cylinders 1 & 2. My question
is; are the injectors numbered different then the cylinders? Specifically
wires 12 & 28 are in one connector (currently on cylinder # 3's injector).
And wires 11 & 29 are in the other connector (currently on cylinder # 4's
injector). This isn't the same as the wiring diagram on page 97.61 of the
Bentley. That and there isn't enough wire to stretch over to the other side
of the engine.

This is all fairly mute since I have other problems to mend right now, but,
if the wire numbers are wrong on this, then what else is different?
