    Merc 260---not firing the injectors

    Ok guys, at a loss here. I have a merc 260 that is not firing the injectors. I have a brucato ACU and I've swapped the acu with my buddies, still get the same results.
    Fuel pressure is good(39psi), voltage is good(12.6)all 6 cyl are firing and I indexed the fly wheel...I pulled the fuel rail and injectors to see if they're shooting gas...I only plugged two injectors up but they only spray once, sometimes, with the starter engaged about 6-7sec...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Injectors should have batt power on the red/yel wire, ECU grounds the injectors to fire them. Red/yel wire gets power from the starter solenoid.

    Outside power pack. It sends signal to let injectors know when to fire.

    Thanks for all the inputs guys. I literally checked and double checked everything. My buddy read a forum with a similar problem and they said it was the switch box... so we swapped the injector wires to the back switch box and she fired up... ugh..
    hope this will help someone in the future...
