If you have VATS removed then it might be a fuel problem. How is your pump wired? I have dealt with a lot of TPI wiring, maybe I can help you.

I dont like to mess with electronics when i have seriouse issues, i trashed the TBI, but the TPI is worth saving for low end torque, but my carb will deliver top end power.

Sounds like VATS or a relay problem. Test for power at the relay. Test your injectors and make sure they are pulsing. I have use a painless harness before and it was very easy. How do you have the injector circuits and the fuel pump relay powed?

well it was really like a 3 wire hook up on this harness, it had a fuse block and the 3 wires by it 1 for batt+, the other for acc+, and the last is for the fuel pump +. as for vats I got a chip from painless that disables vats
how would i test the injectors pulse and thanks so far for all your responses. also is there anyway to test the magnetic pickup of a dist?

A device called a noid light. It plugs into an injector plug and flashes as the injector pulses. What kind of distributor are you running? The distributor sends the pulses for the injectors.

1. Check for injector pulse, 2. Verify the pump and relay are working, 3. Make sure all connections are good.

Things that will cause no injector pulse 1. VATS, 2. bad ignition module, 3. wiring problem, 4. ECM problem. What does the chip from painless look like? I had to fix someones swap because the instructions with a painless VATS bypass module was wrong.

Ok Problem fixed, After a few hours of trying differnt things and tracing wires comparing to schematic It turned out being the adapter I had to go from the big 4 plug to the small 4 plug for the control module the wires were put in backwards made a new one plugged it in and fired right up!!!!.
Thanks again Bingo for all your help
Here's a pic of the plug i was talking about
