Jeff, Have you checked that the signal wire from the coil to the ECU is attached? Without it the ECU won't pulse the grounds of the injectors. It should be on the (1) side of the coil, if memory serves.

Both ECU's give the same result as my other two. Now the 2 I got today were used and unkown, but doubtful I have 4 bad ECU's. Thanks to those who pointed out I was checking the fuel injectors incorrectly with my meter. Set at 1X I get 15-16 ohms. Now, I started dissecting the harness I got (damn sure less complicated than the mountain of wiring I have in my basement from my Suby donor!). From the ECU plug I found continuity between pin 7 and brown wire with a white tracer ,which goes to the cluster of grounds on the head. I assume pin 7 is ground to the ECU, as each injector shows one side to pin 7 (Bentley). I did NOT get continuity from any of the injector plugs to pin 7. So, I head out to the Vanagon, unplug the ECU, I get continuity from pin 7 to the head. I also get continuity between one side of each injector plug and pin 7. So, I 'm not sure what this proves, other than I have ground to pin 7 at the ECU, but when i check the FI plugs on the engine, apparently no ground with ignition on, engine cranking-test light doesn't flicker.
