Hi Ron and Rob,

Thank you both for your replies. I did a sort of compression test (I didn't have my real gauge at hand that stays at the pressure, just an air gauge). It did seem like they all went above 120 PSI though. I will do a more extensive test this weekend. I will definitely look at the injectors and the FI relay etc. I just read in a post that someone had a similar problem with low voltage so I will definitely check my battery and running voltage with alternator. Both at the battery as well as at the relay. Ron, I will get myself some of that zinc stuff and start going through all the connections also. I think the fuse panel could use some cleaning as well. I just reupholstered the passenger seat and it looks pretty decent for a first upholstery job so that was a good pat on the back :D. I also replaced some of the rubber seals (hood, hatch, window scrapers and in the process of redoing the door seals). So much to learn still and go through.

I will report back as soon as I have more information.

Thank you again!

Stefan
