Hey guys, can I have you do me a favor? Anyone who has a CA18DET could you run out and check which injector plugs go to which injector? I have a yellow, a green. a red and a black tape on the harness that plugs into the injector and I need to know which ones go where?

I've narrowed my problem to the fuel injectors (I think) because when i removed the coil pack and the spark plug together and started it, there WAS spark... I'll compresson test it later too...

Thanks,Sean

EDIT: It also smells really gassy too...ideas on why? I'm running only downpipe at the moment...

Yea it does!!! Its not so bad when you are outside but i had my car running in the garage for only like 1 minute with the downpipe only scenario and holy shat!! That thing could get you high in no time! I don't have time to check the CA plugs just as of yet (i thought they were the same colors anyways) but if you still have no answer by early afternoon then i'll take a look.

alright i'm pretty sure i got the injectors plugged in right, if you remove the CAS and spin it (with the ignition/not the engine on) counterclockwise, you can hear the injectors clicking...if you listen to the clicking you can hear it in the firing order of 1-3-4-2 so I'm almost positive i got that right...

still doesn't idle well at all...I think my turbo just seized up on me too (see other post)...would that cause the idle to suck or is something else still f'd up?
