the gap for the phase is 0.2/0.3mm i would gap the crank sensor to 0.8mm! if u still running the chip for the greys the car will not run right with out the grey injectors!the dark blue ones you have fitted are standard injectors for a 4x4!just the same as the yellow ones fella!

thanks mate for your help and you was right about the phase 0.2/0.3 mm i was looking at the crank senseriv did it ti 0.75 last night . one of the fings i did find last night was when number 2 plug was put in it must of hit some thing as it was being put in to the head as there was no gat on it so i redid that and that as you can imagine it made a big difference its still not right by any meens but its running ..i have 3 ECU,s im told 2 are L1 and i bort RS500 one of EBAY but that one will only run the pump it wont give me a spark i only bort it so one day i hope to put the RS500 inlet manifould on the car im going to try the grays today and see wot they do . i no the car has got to go and be set up but but it nice to get it some were close to running first ...........ANY MORE HELP OF ANY ONE WOULD BE A BIG HELP
