It's important to understand that the circuitry in the brains is set 
up such that each trigger point not only triggers a pair of 
injectors, it also resets the circuit that triggers the other pair of 
injectors. So, if one trigger point sticks open, no injectors will 
fire. This happens sometimes if a piece of non-conductive dirt falls 
into the contact gap. This will bring the car to a halt until the gap 
is cleaned.

If a trigger point contact sticks closed, which can happen if the 
rubbing block is worn, I'm not sure what the result will be, but I've 
worked over Daniel's trigger points and reset their gap, so I'm 
fairly sure that can't be the problem.
