One or more injectors stuck open?

They should be normally closed. With no power to them do they flow fuel or allow compressed air through them.
Suggest you check each of them that way.

Thanks, Paul, but I'm not out of the woods yet. You could still this one.

Last night, after about 6 attempts with spark plug cleaning (compressed air)
in between I managed to get about 20 seconds of run time. Then my ignition
switch fuse (5amp) blew. I replaced it with a 10amp. It sounds great when it
runs. Most of the time it just pops (if that) and puts out smoke, barely
keeping up with the starter until the battery gets weak. I've also tried
jump starting with the car which helps get the same results for longer :(

Each time I check the plugs I find that the trailing plugs are very oily. If
I tap them on my hand I get quite a bit of liquid out. The leading plugs are
also wet, but not oily.

I've tried lowering the mixture, cold start off or on, selecting computer A
or B none of which seem to make any difference.

Any other suggestions anyone?
Note that this is a turbo 3rd gen with high compression rotors.
Regards,
John
