audible click. Do not hold the 12V supply on continuously as you will over
heat them and possibly burn them out. If this does not work them take all 4
injectors down to an injector specialist to get them cleaned and freed up.
If you do get them freed up then it is a good idea to soak them in some sort
of injector cleaner for a while as what causes them to stick is the fuel
left in them has dried up leaving a varnish type substance.

fit a suzuki G13B motor (1300-16 valve) into the back. I am looking at using
a PC notebook style fuel injection system and do a little hoon car. At the
very least it should be fun.

Hi Paul.  It has been a long time since this message was sent but I got the
Fiat running.  Verdict - bad TPS.  I did the 12V thing to free up the
injectors also.  Now to get the thing road ready.

Thanks for all your help.  

How are you doing on your current Fiat projects?
