Merry day after all,
If it's a waterboxer vanagon engine, it doesn't matter which wires are on
which injectors. The ecu fires them all as one big 4 part injector by
supplying ground to trigger them. The 'other' injector wire at each
injector should have 12 volts on it, from the main relay.
It's imperative to have a NOID light - a small plug in test lamp. If
it's flashing while you're cranking on the engine, the injectors are being
fired.
It's also imperative to have a Remote Starter Switch so you can operate
the starter while you are by the engine.
A fuel line isn't undone is, in case you 'relieved the fuel pressure'
prior to removing fuel lines is it ? I never do that other than to undo
wherever I'm going to start taking the fuel lines apart.
You could also do the test in the Bentley, hang the injectors out of the
engine, and crank ( with key on ) to observe their spray pattern.
There's more I could say but this is long enough for now.

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. Jeff
