TJ,

Good clean fuel in the lines does not necessarily mean fuel pressure. Do you
have a way to measure your line fuel pressure?

Thanks,

Subject: Fuel injection trouble

 I'm not getting any fuel out of the injectors but definitely have good
clean fuel in the lines.  I had some help and found the injectors were
getting voltage but it's incredibly low.  It peaks at 4 volts and within two
revolutions, it holds at 2-3 volts max.  I have NO idea what could cause
that or what to check next.  I checked the relays and they are getting
proper power where they should and have ground where they should.  I checked
all the wire grounds, as many connections as I could find, swapped out the
two relays in the engine compartment, and swapped another ECU just for
giggles (no change).  I've never had any problem like this (low voltage).
It's either been a bad wire (no voltage/short) or bad a component.  Anyone
have something similar or ideas on what or where to look next?
