HI,

We have checked for feed at injectors and found both terminals to be constantly live and not pulsing.....what gives them the signal to fire ?

The ECU is what sends the signal out. Beyond that, I am sure these chaps would know better. I dont get how only a couple will be firing constantly while others wont when you trace the wiring back and they all feed off the same couple of wires from the ECU from my knowledge.

i think they have an ignition live, and pulse the earth, im sure i read that on here somewhere.

**EDIT** according to the manual, thay have a permanent live, and the earth is pulsed, not ignition live. (but still the same in the end

)

Actually thats normal to see voltage at both terminals, as they're paired parallel, thats why there's 2 earth wires. If you unplug all the other injectors you will only see one terminal with voltage on each plug.
