Hi Lexan,

Did you verify that the new fuel distributor is working
correctly/properly bled?  If not, place the injectors in a jar and
with the fuel pump relay jumpered (as per Bentley) lift the fuel
distributor plate until the injectors squeal like stuck pigs...  It
takes a surprising amount of time to get all the air out and the fuel
flowing properly...

HTH,

Mark.
