I'm not sure what you mean by checking the continuity between the ground wires? Checked the positive side its receiving 12volts. I did a few test today to work out if its the injector or ECU but still can't tell. I know that the injector is not stuck permanently open.
Okay so before doing anything today I pulled the spark plug out to see if the cylinder was filled with fuel (incase the injector is leaking when closed or stuck open) there was no fuel in the cylinder. Unplug the injector and started the car with no spark plug in, no fuel came flying out. Plug the connector back on started the car without the spark plug in, no fuel came flying out so still an intermittent problem. Put the spark plug in started the car and all running fine doesn't smell of fuel. Checked the spark plugs, cylinder one plug was a bit wet, just slightly all the others were dry. Started the car again and unplug cylinder 4's injector plug while running. the idle dropped and engine was stumbling. Did the same test on cylinder 1, the engine also stumbles BUT not as noticeable as cylinder 4. It still runs a bit different but not as bad as cylinder 4 being disconnected. I pulled the plugs out again and they were all dry.
So I know its not completely stuck open however yesterday it did put enough fuel in on cranking (after not being started for 3 days) to hydraulically lock the cylinder. So I'm not sure what the issue is. Either the ECU is intermittently telling the injector to open fully sometimes or the injector gets stuck open sometimes....Can a fully open injector put in enough fuel to hydraulically lock the cylinder on cranking or would it have to leak fuel in over night?
