Got Haynes manual? I think it tells you how to check adjustment etc?

To get round this, I have a little loom and switch I connect to the 5th injector. Then you can 'wind' the metering head mixture to lean, and using various flicks of the switch, manually control (approximately) the air/fuel mixture so you can at least make the car start and run while trying to get some kind of sensible adjustment back onto it.

Could be rich or lean - you need a gas analyser of wideband to check.
