    you could disconnect the injector but I doubt it matters. just have someone fire it up and be ready with the spray, just use short bursts and see if it stays running. don't over use the stuff. you might get a back fire. should be pretty easy to tell if wants to keep running.

    ok so after removing the injector connectors and having my daughter crank the engine I was able to keep engine running for about 20 or 30 seconds.
    Didn't want to run much longer do to no water running in exhaust

    that's good. sounds like you just need to start tuning. again, I know nothing about this ecm tbi tuning, so you might wanna find a thread about the logical order to start tuning it.

    without knowing that, I'd probably find the coolent temp map, throw some more fuel at it there as a temp to get it up to operatiing temperature and start on the base Ve table

    Ok as of now this is what I have found out.

    Motor will run while spraying starting fluid.
    during this running the injectors are pulsing

    Installed a electronic fuel pressure gauge
    During start up it is running 13.5 pounds
    after the key is let go it is running right at 13 pounds
    once engine dies it takes fuel pressure to die off about 20 secs

    map sensor is registering correctly
    tps and iac are new
    ect is new 2.89 kilo ohms which is 2890 ohms its about 75 degrees outside

    Distributor is new
    Fuel pump is new

    What have I missed

    spark plugs wires and coils NEW

    Ok she is alive and running.

    BUT, and there is always a but.

    I kept omitting the fuel pump.

    The fuel pump is a SP1175 12-26#'s pressure with 50 to 58 gph

    Even tho I was getting 13# pressure it wasn't enough

    I completely blocked the return line to the tanks.
    Brought the pressure up 24# pressure cant run like this as the pump is straining.

    Where do I need to look.

    I know it is the fuel side and only thing I have done is blocked return line.

    So is it the regulator or is it the pump

    should it running off a stock tune? like have you loaded up a known good bin for this setup?


    cause if you're trying to run a boat motor off a stock truck chip. wouldn't it require tuning? clamping off the return line is the same thing a fmu does for a super charger car to get more fuel passed the injectors without tuning. it's a bandaid thou.
