Good morning all.

Thanks for the data, I'm at this point below.

my hall is semi new, but get this when I turn the key the injectors spray
then shut off, now if i have my wife crank the thing all the way it pulses
but could have swore it pulse then when constant. on one key turn is it normal
to get anything or should it only start pulse when fully turned over.

btw get about 2 key turn tests runs before i can test the injectors this
might be normal. but my plugs are coming out soaked with gas.

tested my pressure reg and it has the correct pressure, the vac line did'nt
have fuel in it after turning over, but it smelled a bit like gas but was dry
nothing came out or showing signs of wet, maybe normal.

I was to test the injector with a volt meter today, i think the bently says
can do 1 at a time from the ecu plus to the injector?

Joe  feels like I'm almost there :)
