I have power to #3 and #4 injectors but not #1 and #2. The car will run but it is missing on 1 & 2. I have spark but when I pull the wires off the injectors nothing happens. After testing more I found I have no power to both of them. Where does the power come from? Do I need to look at the releasing contacts at the base of the distributor?

Power to the injectors comes from the ECU. The trigger points in the base of the distributor tell the ECU when to send power to the injectors. They do that in two "batches", but those are #1/#3, and #2/#4. They are diagonally across the engine from each other, not on the same side.
If the trigger points are to blame, something is funky with your wiring. I would start by re-checking that you are actually getting pulses of power to those two injectors while the engine is cranking over. If not, then I would suspect the wiring. --DD |

They plug into the connector and will flash when sent a signal. Do check the injector grounds first. No ground no signal. |
