Subject:      Put rebuilt 1.9l in, now my injectors won't spew, or squirt,
              or any of that

Hi list members,

Wondering if one could help me with this: I just got done installing my
rebuilt engine and couldn't help but notice it won't start. I'm getting
spark, and my fuel pump and relay both work fine. The one problem is: No
fuel coming out of  the injectors. Most certainly a wiring problem. I used
new screws and cleaned all the little loops that connect the wires to ground
on the left (driver) cyl head, but it still won't spray any fuel, any of
them. I removed them and had them hanging into a tray, fire extinguisher
handy, I know. No spray at all. Except when I removed the bolts (the old
ones, I used the old ones first to connect the grounds) to the cyl head
ground terminal, one of the injectors briefly did spray. Internal damage in
the ground wires??? I wiggle them now and still no spray. Is there a way to
check the ECU? What would my voltage reading be between the two leads that
connect to each injector? The van ran fine a week ago (except that the heads
were blowing internally past the gasket). Should I just go ahead and rewire
the grounds??

There's always something...
