Re: fire but no juice at injectors.

The pink wires on the injectors should have 12 volts with the key on. When you say you hooked 12v to the pump and it ran do you mean the engine ran or the fuel pump ran?

Re: fire but no juice at injectors.

The positive side of the injectors should be constand +12v with the ignition on. Check that they do at the plug with the test light between the wire and a chassis ground.. The ecm grounds the other side to fire the injectors. If you put the light across the injector terminals, and they don't flas but have power, the ECM driver is bad or the wire is broken somewhere.

Re: fire but no juice at injectors.

indirect i suppose. hard for injectors to spray gas if the pump doesn't get it to em.

Re: fire but no juice at injectors.

No, not never mind. That problem is still there. Trace back the power from the injectors back into the fuse block. There must be a break somewhere if everything else has power. Did you check the fuses?
