Huh. Well I can see that; all 3 FI's not working right. Yup. You should see nearly battery voltage at + side of each FI plug. As for swapping each FI plug onto the known good injector into each plug, had thought same. I may be reading the Bentley electrical diagram wrong, but it appears that if the Digifant relay is energized (key to ign. on) there should be a constant supply of B+ to the + buss of injector plugs. This is a long shot, as I'm not sure what the differences are, or if these would stop the injector from spraying, but are all the FI's the same colour? I know Bentley makes mention of this. i.e. could the PO (previous owner) have swapped in a few 1.9 WBX injectors? Just a WAG. There's useful videos on youtube showing home made bench testing-cleaning setups for fuel injectors. Neil. On 12/7/13, Steve Cotsford <cotsford@aol.com> wrote: > Hi Neil.
