Wow, Steve, that's great detailed info;
I was just hoping to get the total. I was expecting the injectors
to draw more than the coils, but with all the coils together under
5 amps (and even better for the injectors), then my wiring
architecture can get a lot simpler.
Many thanks,
Charlie

Has anyone with an ammeter installed measured
their engine's actual current draw (controller, injectors,
plugs, fuel pump) with everything but the engine shut
down, and the alternator offline? IIRC, Bernie Kerr once
did a battery duration test & discontinued after ~40
minutes, but I don't recall seeing any actual current
measurements.
Thanks,
Charlie
