Default Been at it for 13,yrs and she still will not run!

After years of cleaning, replacing gaskets and general pain, I have got to the point of having my 1984 XJS HE cranking again. She will run, but very badly. Chronic over fuelling, to the point where it's dangerous. Replaced fuel, plugs, just about everything that i can. I'm convinced it's a ground somewhere in the injector wiring, but don't know where to start, any ideas please?

Injector harness is new, alternator has had new reg and tested ok?

Welcome aboard.

It will be simple.

Head over to the XJS Tech section, I will see you over there.

My 1st best at this time is the EFI resistor pack connector. Many threads on that in that Tech section by "Greg in France".
