Matt ( alpine TSI) went through the trouble to come down and figure out the problem. I'm glad he did because it was quite a bit beyond my electrical knowledge. If he feels the need to chime in and add detail, you can get more specs but until then, this is what I can tell you.

Basically one of the 2 wires going into the injector clip located on the top of injector number 1, was shorted somewhere. He ran a line to another source of signal or power ( cant remember with already lol) and now it works.

Bad thing - Check engine light pops on while at idle, and while no gas is applied. My guess is that the ecu thinks the injector isnt getting a signal but im not sure. It runs fine.

It wasnt very EASY to figure out, as he had to test a lot of crap with minimal tooling. However he did a great job and if for some reason he wanted to and someone needed help with electrical, I'd recommend him.
