Hi Steve, Well done, that’s close enough. He put inj number 3 wire back onto what was previously an unused pin. From the beginning I looked at the inj end first and because I knew the colour of the wire and the wire continuity tested good I never checked the actual pin number. When I had it on the bench I had a crocodile clip on the pin which slipped sideways and picked up the 5v from the pin beside it, cue flash of inspiration. Strangely enough, the customer never mentioned the water ingress when questioned. It seems the water ingress was the original problem. The customer kept driving it until it would hardly go. This was due to the blocked exhaust. Whoever was working on it introduced another problem by “rewiring” the ECU and hid it very effectively by cleaning up the damage and disposing of the bad ECU. This was a job more suitable for Sherlock Holmes than a mere mechanic like me cheers Alan
