so my problem is that during initial startup the injectors dont prime to start... but if i turn ignition to the on position and take a test light and ground each injector its starts up fine and stays runnin with no problems. i thought it might be an ecu prob but i swapped ecu's and it still does not work. i check all visible grounds and everything looks like it is hooked up correctly. i am using r/c engineering injectors which was stated when i purchased that they were high inpedence so i dont need resisters but if i was told incorrectly what would happen if the injectors were low inpedence.. thanx oh yeah this is a ka

your ecu is bad. if you have to MANUALLY ground them out most likely your ecu is bad. the ecu should give them ground to feed

already put a new one in and that didnt solve the prob. its something else

If your injectors were indeed low impedence your ecu will eventualy burn out due to it over basicaly over working itself

how can i tell if the injectors are low inpedence

use a multimeter and set it to OHLMS its a omega sign. If its low impedance resistance is usually 4ohms and under. High Imp is usually 10ohms and up

could my wires on the injector harness where they were spiced in be backwards?

well the injectors are 12.4 ohms so they are def high inpedence... anyone else have any other ideas of what it could be.
