Ive got the service manual, and think I am reading it all correctly. My thinking is that I am not getting any signal from my ignition module. I replaced the entire distributor assembly with no luck. If I unplug the distributor harness and take my test light (clamped onto positive), turn the key to the ON position, let the fuel pump run its startup cycle, then touch my test light to the Pur/Wht signal wire going to the computer, the injectors begin to fire. But if they are not manually told to do so they wont, nor will they continue to fire once you try to start the engine.
Could the distributor assy be bad? |
did you use the EFI dist ?

And when you start cranking the engine over theres still 12 volts to both wires going to the injector. .

part of the efi engine harness plugs into the coil, its a split connector and the other to the distributor, if I remember right, and the injector harness plugs into the engine harness.
I think it would be difficult to use a carb engine harness on an efi upper wiring, JMO |

Really ? Both ?
The wiring harness connected from the harness to the split connector to the coil is hooked up. And the wires from the coil to the distributor is also hooked up. The engine runs as long as you keep spraying fuel in it! Does the Starting, Charging System have anything to do with making the injectors pulse?? |
Going to be a high and low reference signal from 2 of the 4 wires from dist to ecm . Compare avg volts and or freq signal from your runner test mule.
If the ecm isnt grounding your injectors to spray fuel you will see 12v on both sides . Hopefully you have a distributor that will deliver mefi 1-4 reference signals. |

Side Note - The main relay that takes 12V feed from the batteries does NOT pass 12V through. If you jumper wire across that relay to the line going to the fuse block, the fuel pump turns on and cycles, but the injectors still do not pulse. The black wire in the relay is grounded. We swapped the two relays with the same results (we are assuming we don't have two bad relays). There is a rectangular plug on the backside of the harness by the distributor that plugs into the starting/charging harness. Unless it is picking up some sort of signal to send to the distributor I don't think it has any effect on the main harness. One thing we did find was the white wire going into the distributor on the 4 pin connector is supposed to be grounded when cranking, it is not grounding. But again the ICM is tested good. Thoughts?

did you check the fuses on the efi harness, should be 3 under a gray or black cap, I know one is for the fuel pump
|
yes, all three have power in/out...fuel pump is working correctly with jumper wire on relay, remove jumper and nothing
