Default Injector issues.. ballast resistors??

I've got a strange issue with my new low impedance injectors.. they don't work?.. well almost don't work.

- They are 850cc RC Eng, modified Bosch low impedance injectors.
- When measuring resistance the values are 2.6 ohms.

When all four are installed, it seems like the DME can't drive them, why?

- When I put on my old Bosch 2.6 ohm 52 lbs injectors, the DME drives them with no problems.
- I've tried swaping with my spare DME and still no luck.
- I've sent them back to RC Engineering and they balance and ensured they work.
- When I pulled one connector off an injector, the other 3 work! Looks like one less load on the system is enough to drive the other 3.

So will a Ballast Resistor solve this problem? Or is the DME too weak to drive these injectors?

Any help appreciated..

Thanks,
Steve
