Have you tested the CPS output even though it's new?

Did you "tweak" the connectors in the C101?

Injectors have continious voltage but will not open untill the PCM completes the ground path.

Check the PCM ground and associated ground wires before throwing more money at your rig.

Also try swapping the ASD relay with a known good relay in your PCM.

Checked/cleaned your NSS yet?
