Ironmike. Thanks for taking the trouble to write so much to help me out. Getting closer to resolution, I hope.

Thanks furbird.

Thanks, Jon. I'm inclined to agree given that all 4 injectors are constantly 'live'. I've had 8 Birds since 97 and never had one problem before this one. It's a 2001 with less than 30k miles. Bummer.

Thanks, super. I'll try that tomorrow when I'm sober. Missing my Bird.

I should add that I cannot, of course, start the engine because it is hydraulically locked and I have to remove all spark plugs to clear the cylinders. Thanks rockme... I've checked for corrosion. FPR? Fuel Pressure Relief?? I'm sure that there is a clue in that all the injectors are affected. What do they have in common other than the ECU?

My injectors energise and stay energised when key on. This results in air throats and cylinders filling with fuel. Also fuel pump has continued to to whir when key off. Any ideas?
