If you think about it. Having 2 injectors that don't fire is a long shot that it's a problem with both injectors. The common link is the ECU as it is what completes the ground for the injectors. So it was a grounding issue through the ECU and once I swapped them out it ran perfect. I have a USDM ....ECU in there now instead of the JDM and it works just fine.

this is what fixed my car. I had a spare ECU laying around for an S5 turbo

good deal yea its hard to make a call if its actually the ecu or not and if you got a spare one thats the best thing right there

i ran a compression test... i got no compression in the back rotor... gonna pull the motor friday

RicerJ 06-23-2011 12:05 AM

are you getting anything out of it cause it could be a stuck seal

j5sense 06-23-2011 01:01 AM

i go nothing on the rear rotor. if i remove the gauge i can hear a wooshing (with the motor turning over) but nothing on the gauge, tryed it twice to verify

RicerJ 06-23-2011 01:08 AM

did you have a strange sound before it stopped working

j5sense 06-23-2011 01:16 AM

i bought the car with it not working. it sat for 9 years. it only has 64,000 miles (1987 turbo II)

RicerJ 06-23-2011 02:01 PM

well sitting for 9 years isnt good most likely the coolant seals went and flooded the rear
