You need to check to see if the 9th injector is being activated electrically.
Have you check the fuel pressure? I know everything is new, but you don't know if its leaking down if you don't check it.

The brass switch in intake on the left is the CSI switch.
Should have 12V to it and out of it to CSI when cranking engine over cold (only )
