Hi Jason,
    Our vanagons L-jetronic, digifant, and digijet inject all 4 cylinders at
the same time. There is nothing sequential about them. You can attach any
fuel injector to any plug.
     Your cat was doing its job burning the unburned excess fuel.  You seem
to have an over rich condition on your van. Try it with the O2 sensor
unplugged. If it is still rich test the coolant temperature sensor per
bentley.
Darrell
