Can you 'borrow' one that you know works?  It is probably cheaper to buy a used one than have it checked  :shock:
I just disconnect the battery then undo the multi-plug, then unscrew from mount  :wink:

p.s. Mind your capitals, some peeps take it seriously (shouting)  :lol:  :lol:

hi.
   if you are sure you have got fuel to the pressure rail and you have a good strong spark then you need to check the neg wire at the coil for a good connection as this  wire feeds a signal to the ecu for switching the injectors. you can allso check the resistor pack relay which is located under the passenger front seat,the quickest way to test the injectors is to pull off one injector plug and test for a pulsing volage of 3volts dc when you crank the engine, a single l.e.d. is good for this test but an avo meter dose just as well,you should allso get a voltage reading from the cold start injector from cold its approx 5-10 seconds depending on the temp of the engine,dont condem the ecu just yet they are quite robust, but not to rule it out all together,i hope this helps if you need any more info just pm me.
                                  regards john t. :D
