As said try just tightening injectors. If still poor try leak off test as described earlier in thread. Gives you a much better insight to what the injectors are really doing. Does the engine sound like a misfire on 1or 2 cylinders or does the whole thing run rough vibration poor acceleration? :-/

I'd have to bow to Omegatoys greater knowledge, but to me, sounds like all 6 are running rough....

Just had another lightening thought. Sometimes the flow valve  gets stuck on the pump. Sounds daft but try tapping the rear of the pump with a hammer to free it off before you start, or even better do you have a small 2 pin blue or brown connector on rear of pump?

I presume this is the solenoid in the pump?  If so, its underneath, not sure how it comes off, probably needs pump to come off? I think thats the 2 pin connector that comes off seperately.

I know what you mean - personally I would have stripped the whole engine side fuel system out from the original - as that worked.

If I was to go down the route of changing the injection pump over, I may as well have just changed the head on the original.  The injection pump is chain driven off the cam chain, not something I wanted to mess with.

For those with the software, here is the snapshot (needs to be copied to cosids/data/snapshots)

http://images.omegaowners.com/images/theboy/project_tb2/10000002.SUR

The thing that stands out to me is the Actual Injection Start which is 0, and the Desired Injection Start at 1000rpm is 4.1
