I just bought the car and it ran rough. It had a bad wire on the ignition on the plug i fix it and it did run a lot batter then I bought new plugs wires cap and control module cold start valve, now the car wont start!!! I have very good spark good fule
pressure, have 12volts to my injecters.I can pull out two plugs and put gas down in the cyl and it will fire off for a sec or two.it has to be in the fuel. the guy i bought it from bought a reman air flow sensor and the cap for the mixture was gone and look like he had messed with it. any good thoughts.

you say you have 12v to the injectors, but does the return side pulse when cranking? Maybe you inadvertently disconnected the wire to the ecm from the coil that shows rpm. The ecm has to see an rpm signal to pulse the injectors

thanks for the good info. I turn the key on and the tec goes over to 8000 rpm. with no pulse to the injectors. I have made sure the wire from the coil to the ECM (blue )was on and it was getting hot, i cut the wire to put new fittting on it has two wires in one do both get hooked up? and i disconacted the rpm and it still goes over to 8000. On the coil i have pink on the + side and a red going to the I C M on the - side i have a brown with white blue with two wire in it and a black going to the ICM.
