Ralph,

A few general suggestions:

1.  Fuel filter installed correctly
2.  Fuel pressure at the rail correct:  34-40 psi.
3.  (Other tests for the FPR and fuel pump but you must have the car running
to administer.)
4.  The testable electrical compoents of the EFI system are senors  or
solenoids.  Senosrs can be tested for continunity or resistance,
I have some test standards for the various Bosch system components that I
will be happy to send if you like.

Good luck.

Don
