Not sure if this helps but I have twin 454mag mpi's One wouldn't spark, had pleanty of gas. I spent days tracing wires, swaping ecu's you name it.. A local dealer wanted to install a new wire harness which was big $$. What I started doing was pulling all plugs on the harness. Found one 6 or more wire plug in the very far corner of the dash, hard to get to... I pulled apart cleaned and she fired right up..
It looked fine but just a little corrosion is all it took. Again I spent hrs. checking each connection.
