In other words the ecu is not supply ground to fire the injectors ? What I would do next is remove the plug from the ecu, jumper the main relay so the injectors get power, then supply ground manually at the ecu plug, and see if that makes each injector click. If I does, you know the circuit works, and I would be thinking about the ecu, but ........you should 'check everything' else first before condemning the ecu. Like grounds. And you are sure there's 12 volts to each injector plug ? Also.......the input to the ecu that tells it the engine is turning. You have a 1.9 right ? There is one white wire, that goes from the igniter to the .......ecu I think, ......one time I swapped an igniter and it would not run. Took a long time to find it, but the white wire had gotten pushed back in the igniter connector plug. If the ecu does not see that pulse on that wire, it doesn't know the engine is turning, and it won't fire the injectors. I'd check there. And grounds, always gotta think about those.

Well, now that I know what type of test light to use to check to see if the injectors are firing ( I had bought one some time ago, forgot I had it) I have now found I am not getting ground to the injectors. I followed the procedure in Bentley, checking the relays and the connector to the ECU and it all seems OK. Don't know, this may bump up my Subaru conversion, as I'm getting weary of delaing with the damn thing. I never dreamed pulling the 4 injectors and having them cleaned would turn into such an ordeal... Jeff
