to test injectors, remove fuel rail in one piece with fuel hoses still attached, get an old glass jar+ poke an injector size hole in the lid, insert 1 injector into hole, remove wiring plug off injector,turn on ignition to get fuel pressure, put 12v across the injectors terminals(i just ran 2 wires straight from battery), you should see an even fine spray of fuel from the injec5or as long as 12v are applied, might have to trial and error which connections but its pretty straightforward.
Also try a timing light wired in between dizzy+ spark plugs and dizzy+coil to check for spark.
Hope this helps
could well be dodgy earth connection, check all + clean, there is one under the battery tray


how do you remove the fuel rail, looks like a tight fit!


i have just tested the feed to the injectors and im only getting 0-2v when cranking! surly it should be alot more than that?

Would guess so, could be ecu related.

Might need to take off TB then there are just 2 allen head bolts holding it to inlet mani+ rubber bungs around injectors.
dont know about voltage to injectors dont have info to hand, i belive the resistance across injectors should be under 12 ohms?
+ if low voltage could be to do with bad earth/connection, have you checked all in engine bay?
