I don't think its a problem with the ECU unless I hooked something up
wrong.  I tagged all of the wires and am sure all is OK.  Got good spark.
Checked the injectors - got spray - How much should be comming out as its
turning over - about like spraying a Windex bottle?

It's more like there's no compression - but I followed the lifter
adjustment directions in Bentley.  It's like its 180 degrees out.  But I
didn't touch the distributer.  Has anyone else had this problem adjusting
the lifters after replacing the heads?
