Testing D-Jet FI, Got a few questions Options

[Spoke]

I'm prepping a 1.8L engine for the red 914 to replace the leaky 1.7L with one cylinder low on compression that's in the car. The installed engine has dual IDF40 Webers on it now.

When the PO bought the car, it had FI and was not running or was not running good. He took it to a local 356 shop and they pulled the FI and put on a single Weber just to get the car running.

When the 356 shop moved locations, I received a box full of FI stuff from the car. My goal is to test each component and get the FI running again. I've tested most of the components including the distributor contact points, temp senders, throttle switch, and MPS.

For the MPS, I just tested for vacuum leakage. It was leaking pretty badly so I took it apart and sealed it. I'll test it when I test the FI brain.

I got a few questions that I'll get to in a few posts. First question is will it damage injectors if they are operated w/o fuel pressure? I plan to run the brain with injectors dry.

Here's all the stuff I received:

Root,

Thanks for the info and link. Excellent reading material. Just what I was looking for. I feel better about the 5V injector voltages. I've removed the injectors and replaced with 3 ohm power resistors. Now the injector waveforms look a lot better.

Bleyseng,

I sealed the MPS by taking the seal out, cleaning it off, then sealing with some red gasket spray. Put back together and no leak. If it doesn't last, I'll be looking for another one. At least it gets me going.
