Re: Milano Injection Woe - Please Help!

[Ralph Moorhouse <ralphmo@domain.elided>]

Have you checked that the dual relay is working?
Does fuel flow  -ignition on, AFM flap open?
Are the injectors firing?  I had problem in which the car would fire & run 
on the cold-start but then died,  Turned out the injectors were stuck (not 
firing) due to preservative oil (after cleaning) solidifying.

Good luck
