Bud:

the wiring to the trigger points isn't exactly obvious. I seem to remember a single ground, but I do know it's somewhat difficult to test them, as several paths will give you continuity.

Best thing to do is to pop them out and trace the connections, and test them in place once you get the wires sorted. This will tell you if you have a trigger point problem or a wiring problem.

I will look later an see if I have a schematic with wire colors -- if you got a pair of wires crossed, its very likely you are simply not triggering injection. The problems before was a bad connection -- the ECU probably cannot detect a closed point with only a single strand holding, voltage drop too big across the connection.
