Engine Cuts Out Instantly / No Restart

Diagnosis & fix steps

LOGIC: Injector Common Line 1 (Cylinders 1-2-3) Short to Battery. ACTION: Measure resistance between injector harness terminal studs and 24V engine power bus. Inspect wiring bundle where it passes through the rocker housing slot for pinched insulation.

Red Seal field insights

Hardware Driver Fault: Direct 24V shorting onto injector driver lines threatens internal ECM booster capacitors (which charge to ~80V), forcing an immediate engine stall.
