Locating R6

It seems my car has the dreaded 5 volt-VSS, so i may need to delete R6. The problem is that i'm unsure where it is on the board. I have a suspect, but i'd rather someone who actually knows points it out for me.

circled in orange. I would suggest putting a 10k in parallel with the existing resistor so you have some "protection" there, and it will be easy to undo if that isn't it.

On a related note: uS/gal

I've calculated it to 1577254910 from the manual (2.4cc/s for one injector) but should i multiply that or divide that to account for having six of them?

Unless I am missing something, I recommend using standard calibration techniques.

Oh i do intend to calibrate it according to those instructions, it's just that i was out installing it today and needed reasonable starting values.

I ended up dividing that value by six and getting reasonable consumption figures - 2.1L/h immediately after start and sinking to 1.6L/h after a few seconds.
