Yes they are top feed GTIR yellow injectors, so that means resistors are installed and the GTIR ecu is no good? Since the injectors do work with the Avenir ecu and not the GTIR ecu.

I would say that that is a correct assumption. If you know anyone with another gtir ecu test theres to see if it starts your car up. Is there anything that looks like this in around the engine bay. . That's the oem gtir resistor box. Dave

Unfortunately I don't know anyone with another gtir ecu in my area. The resistors box would be around the injector harness no? I haven't seen the resistors box in the bay but I will take another look after work. I removed the tape from the injector harness and saw where they spliced but no resistors are wired in as well.

I appreciate your help Dave.

I can assure you that you do not need resistors.. I have a GTIR on one of my cars and I do not run resistors with the stock GTiR computer.. if you run the stock gtir ECU you will not need the resistors ,But any other ECU I've never tried so my guess is that you do because Of It Being a high independence Ecu... more than likely The ecu is toasted if it starts with the Aveneir Ecu.. also what air flow meter are you running??
you have to run the 54C00 with thE gtir ecu.. I do believe that the aveneir ECU uses the same one though..

I have one but not sure if I want to sell it as I have it as a backup Ecu.. post on the on the wanted thread.. I'm pretty sure there's some laying around on someone's shelf...

When you did your gtir swap on the car with stock gtir ecu did you use a gtir harness?

The injectors can run without the resistors but you can damage the injector drivers in the ecu. No matter what ecu you use it needs resistors, that's why the GTI-R came with a resistor pack. Most likely the GTI-R ecu is bad.

no I did not... just swapped some plugs over an extended some wires...

So the gtir ecu is likely burt from not using resistors... Just means its time for some upgrades

I blew mines at the track and had to get towed home one hour away. I will never forget that night cause I got towed with a strap on the highway all the way to my shop. I took it to a guy that repairs ECUs and that's when I figured out what happened. Wired in the resistor pack and it never happened again. Car ran good without it but it was always rich.
