Sorry to hear about another frustrating problem, when it appears you did everything right. I have no real knowledge in this area, but I did recently replace all of the fuel lines, including the short ones on the injectors. Finally got the protective sleeve delivered and everything back together and it fired right up and so far no leaks. So, did you connect the right wires to the right injectors? Maybe remove them and clean the contacts and use a little dielectric grease. Just a thought. Good luck, Jerry P.S. It might have been your previous msg that prompted me to go to the Witchhunter site, where I learned that the injectors should not be left sitting out for long, but rather immersed in gasoline so they don't dry out. By then mine had been sitting on the workbench for over a week! As I said, fortunately, it did fire right up :).

> Well Merry Christmas to me! Here I was all excited, yesterday my cleaned injectors came back in the mail from Witchhunter. Based on the report included, I was convinced my low power problem was solved, 3 of the 4 were in bad shape. Too late yesterday to put them back in, so I reinstalled them this morning. Yeah, my low power problem is solved, all right, now the &^@* thing won't start at all. I've been through everything obvious, everything is hooked back up. The only other new thing I've done in the past month was install the Euro ECU, but I got my old one and slapped it back in and it still won't fire, so that doesn't appear to be the problem. This seemed to be a pretty straight forward operation-I guess not, though. I've already gotten the evil eye for just working on the damn thing on Christmas day, so don't know when I'll get time to check anything else.
