A scope of the 60-2 crank trigger, why is the first figure much lower than the others? I'm not sure what the reading means

Not sure what the videos are supposed to show ? I thought you had basically confirmed that the ecu is working, the wiring is intact, and that the injector's are being told to open/close ?
The videos just confirm that again ?

The scope trace is good. First section is short because the engine has only started half way through a cycle.

Have you tested the injectors manually the way I described yet ?

Are the plugs wet or dry ?

Yes it does confirm it.

Some good news on the scope reading thanks for clarifying.

I have tested the injectors the way you described and the all click when power is applied.

The plugs are dry and sooty.

All sorted, I can't believe what it was in the end :lol:

The throttle bodies joining clip had popped off and onto the front of the joining bar. It was keeping the butterflies open on cylinders 1 and 2 about 3 to 4mm so sucking in loads of air causing the leaning out on those cylinders.

Simple really :D

It's strange how everyone always assumes it's the ecu that's faulty before checking out the more obvious mechanical systems!

Your spot on there. This is definitely a case of "not seeing the wood for the tree's"
