Hey Dennis, Thanx for the message! I am getting the pulse at the coil, and the wire ECU wires are plugged into this side of the coil. I'm getting the positive pulse to the ECU - checked the wire to ensure there are no breaks. I'm getting juice via the double relay. But no ground to the injectors - no pulse, no constant ground, nothing. I drove the car prior to pulling the engine, so I don't think the problem is the ECU. I think its either a break in a wire somewhere or a misplaced or miswired wire. Any other thoughts?
