Reason asked what the wire lead between the injectors and controller is
There could be multiple ground loops with surges/spikes/etc floating around made
worse if the path is through the pump body/innards/metalized fuel/etc
There is the constant issues (piston hammering the follower), cavitation potential
during the 'metering' pinch off, the very poor cooling/lube of the cam cavity,
the intrusion of H2O and now voltage/current (electrolysis)
Then think either accumulation of them with one or the other becoming the failure
catalyst
Or that they are all going on in concert till one too often and/or too much
debris creates more debris to cause a catastrophic event. If this one is true,
then they all are ticking time bombs...
