I'm hoping you examined the big traces down the side for arcing at the
solder joints.  Everything on that side is either injector or ignition
drive, and the ignition side gets up to around 450V for a microsecond or so
every spark.  Take a look at this and the following seven images.

I say that the first and fourth have been arcing -- actually all four
have.  You can see ones with no arcing before and after these.
