[Gmecm] Injectors Not Firing...

Jared,
I don't know if it's got VATS enabled, the chip was burned with criteria I
supplied, and I'm ASSuming that they didn't leave that on for my 69 Plymouth
Valiant.  I won't be able to check that until I get some form of PROM
reading capability, I guess I ought to do that pretty soon...

Nick,
I didn't think to check for 12V at the plug, I just plugged in the noid
light to see if anything happened.  I'll see if I can check that tomorrow
after work.

Clair
