Tried another fuel/ignition relay, no difference.

However, I removed the inlet manifold for the 99th time to check injector cap locations and I noticed the brand new gasket has somehow got a huge hole in it on the cylinder that was banging and complaining:

Annoying that a brand new gasket has disintegrated like that...oh well. I just want the car to run now.

Also, my injector caps are all over the place because when I put them in I guess I didn't realise/forgot they could rotate independantly of the injectors:


If someone could tell me how the caps should be orientated that would be very much appreciated. Are they supposed to be horizontal (in this picture), or in line with the injectors at sort of 45ish degrees?

Thanks

make a new gasket up using some cereal box and test it, will take you 10 mins max

Problem found...the mating face of my inlet manifold was warped. :/
It runs a lot better with another manifold, but still has an air leak on one cylinder as the new gasket is now defective so have to wait for a 3rd new one.
