re- 1992 buick efi problem Sign In

kinda got confused on the last instructions, not sure if i was to test the voltage at the injector or some place else. anyway no voltage at the injector with the starter cranking.(checked it with the connector off the injector. like i said earlier, no gas, good fuel psi at rail. new crank sensor new ecm, and no clue what to do. thanks for your comments

 sorry dan was not sinking in that you wanted me to check the tps. could you explain where to find it and how to test it again. must be the problem i believe i have checked everything else.

There should be power on the pink/black wire of the injectors anytime that the ignition switch is on.
Have you checked the Inj/coil fuse in the under dash fuse panel? Test the fuse with a regular 12 volt test light.
As for testing the TPS; lets first get power to the injector circuit.

The quality of the diagram is poor but I think you should be able to make it out?

Re: re- 1992 buick efi problem Sign In

yes we have 12 volts at the fuse box. with the key on black to black and red to blue wire i have .02volts. black to black and gray to red i have 5volts... this means what with no signal at the injectors? dan i just want to thank you for your responses and your knowledge. awsome help.

I’m not sure what you mean by

All I want to know at this time is there power on the pink wires that are at each injector?
You can use a regular test light for this; connect the ground clip of the test light to a known good ground on the engine block. Then touch the probe of the test light to the pink wire at the injector connector.
With the ignition on does the test light, light?
Why I say use a test light is that it puts a small amount of load on the circuit, where a voltmeter will not. This load may help to find a potential bad connection (if there is one) in the injector feed circuit.

Do you mean that you can connect a 12 volt test light to the blue wires that I have circled in blue in the wiring diagram below and the test light lights?

Re: re- 1992 buick efi problem Sign In

yes, i only tested the forward bank of injectors and both the blue and the pink lit the 12 volt test light. i also tested the tps harness with a volt meter and there is power on tow of the leads. as for the tps sensor it changes resistance when the throttle linkage moves.

Re: re- 1992 buick efi problem Sign In

I know that this is going to sound like I’m beating this to death but I want to make sure that we’re both on the same page.
Unplug all the injectors; turn the ignition on, with a test light clipped to a known good ground. Tell me what wire(s) will light the test light. Don’t forget to unplug ALL the injectors before you test this; it would be an invalid test if you don’t.
Why I want to know this is that you should never have power on the blue or green wires of the injectors with them (again) all unplugged.
Did I mention to unplug all the injectors LOL
If there is power only on the pink wires, then with the injectors still unplugged; try the noide light in each injector connector. Does the noide light blink while cranking the engine?
