You need to give some thought as to way the ECU failed. While solid state
components, (output transistor) sometimes fail for no reason shorted
components are often the result of an overload condition. I have seen
incorrect replacement injectors installed. The air cooled injectors had much
lower coil resistance and a resistor was part of the system. Also high power
charger/engine starters can do the ECU in. Not just the voltage but the
noise-ripple from these things are bad for many electronics.

The car has started up with a new ECU. Thanks Scott.

As long as one of the two relays is supplying power to each injector ..
the only thing that opens the injectors is the ecu supplying ground to the
other terminal on each injector.
They are batchfired ..that is all at once, in milliseconds, like they are
one big 4-part injector.
and with 4 wires from ecu to each injector I am pretty sure without looking
at Bentley ..
if it's doing it to all 4 cylinders..
it sure can't be 4 grounded injector wireson their way from ecu to each
injector.
therefore ...most likely ecu.
