While we could now get the engine running, it would only fire for a few seconds. Fortunately, we were pointed towards the Fuel Injection Corporation, who could rebuild our unit (if we supplied a core) for about $300.

While you can rebuild these yourself, we were warned that our chances of getting it right due to all of the little plates and seals was slim to none. The fuel metering block (or unit, or distributor, depending on who you talk to) seemed like the logical culprit. When we manually lifted the metering plate, however, we could start to make the car sputter. This got us fuel to the engine and little else. We also tested the injectors (which were somehow fine) and replaced the injector shrouds and O-rings as they are inexpensive and fuel leaks are rather dangerous. We were also able to trigger the sixth injector, added by Callaway and controlled by a crude, kind of cute auxiliary ECU hidden under the glove box. It was now getting fuel and seemed to operate fine. We then tested the fifth injector–aka the cold-start injector. We determined that we had power and a good ground to the electric fuel pump (located near the fuel tank in a Rabbit), but since the fuel pump still would not work, we decided to replace it and the relay that accompanied it. We replaced the battery and fuel filter and, not surprisingly, the engine wouldn’t fire.
