This morning I was all primed up to fire my newly updated EC/EM.  
Pulled the plane out got all set up and hit the primer button:
Silence? Tried starting: Nothing.
Pushed it back in the hangar and started trouble shooting.
Fuel pressure: Yes
Power to all 4 injectors: Yes
Grounded one at the time all 4 wires from the EC2 plug and all 4  
injectors did "click"
Checked the injector return lines: they are grounded as they should be.
Called Tracy and he suggested testing Mode 8 spark plugs: worked fine
The EM2 is flashing 0/NOP where the RPM should be?
Since Tracy is leaving for 3 weeks on Tuesday, I'll have time to  
follow up on ideas from all, incl. Tracy :)
When John Slade was here, we used to swap EC boards to make sure it  
is not our fault. Now he's gone to CT.

BTW when you are testing the engine ignition in MODE 8 with the spark  
plugs on the engine, make sure there is no one around the prop. My  
engine fired momentary two times without the starter being engaged,  
injectors off and fuel pumps off. Any fuel fumes inside will ignite  
if you hit the Save button in Mode 8

Finally at 7 PM I felt in a dead end, shut the hangar and headed  
home. Feel like where I was 2 years ago.
