Agh! Dumb fuel injectors, please help!

Hey all -

It's been a while

Anyway I'm working on a 91 Z28 w/350 TPI and the motor turns, I have spark and I have fuel. The injectors aren't working. Is there a fuse or relay for these (I'm sure there is) and where is it located??

Thanks greatly!!

Has it been sitting for awhile?
Fuel pressure at the fuel rail test port?

You should post this also on the TPI board.

Re: Agh! Dumb fuel injectors, please help! Got it..

Well damn. I feel like an idiot, I got it. Had a 93 Vette with the exact same problem. For some reason I thought the pass-key locked up the started or fuel pump, it's the fuel 'injectors'. Guy had a faulty resistor pack to bypass. Disconnected, wired in, fired right up, HA!

Guy was going to pay $1000 at the shop, fixed it in 10minutes for free!

There is a fuse marked INJ in the fuse box.

Re: Agh! Dumb fuel injectors, please help!

Have something similiar with my 305 TBI. Car has been sitting for about 2 years. Slapped a new battery in it, turned over nicely but wouldn't crank..till we sprayed some carb cleaner in it. Ran great till the carb cleaner was burnt up, then died. Same thing spraying gas in the tbi. Fuel pump comes on, but no fuel is getting to the injectors. Fuses are fine too. Today at Auto Zone, was rambling about my situation, lady that works there said her husband had a similiar problem with a car of his..turned out to be the distributor. Does this sound valid. Would like to know for sure before I plop down the money on a new distributor.
