Sounds like bad wiring. See this link............http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2335

It shows how your motor connectors should look. Good luck with the problem and be sure to let us know
the resolution.

Seriously, I forgot that you are building a custom cartesian printer. What do you need to finish this printer?
The whistling stepper is probably too small for the job as I think you discovered. How close are you to finishing
