hopefully somebody can help me out here. got a 92 rs with a 305 tbi. the engine will crank but will not fire. it is a very intermittant problem. i have replaced everything in the ignition system , i am getting good spark. i am also getting fuel up to the injectors. i noticed the injector wires, one being switched 12 volts, and the other one should throw negative. well i am not getting a negative pulse. it just stays positive. is there some kind of sensor that could of choked or could it be my ecm.

is there fuel coming out of the injectors?? take off the air cleaner assembly and have someone crank it while you watch for fuel spraying from the injectors.

i only get fuel to come out when i ground the uncommon side of the injectors. i believe that whatever controls them may have gone bad. i'm thinking some kind of sensor or something. as far as the gas goes, i am getting it up to the injectors but electronically it is not coming out.

You might need new injectors, don't happen often, but they can short out. Also, it could be something in the wiring harnes shorted. Or it could be the computer not doing it's job. Start from front and work your way back. Run your computer for codes and see where you get. Get a Hayes manual, it will show you how to check for codes plus it will tell you what they mean. Good luck.

yeah, sounds like a wire rubthrough or cut somewhere, loosing the power to the injectors to the ground. chase the wires back to where you regain power, and youve probly found your problem.

lol, actually the IROC rims look pretty good, bad lighting, but i have been looking at either a set of C5 corvette chrome 5 spoke rims, or a set of torque thrust II's, havent decided yet.

first make sure the check eng light comes on when you turn the ign switch on.
if the light comes on ,maybe the problem is the ign madule inside the dist or bad ECM.
if the light does not comes on the check the fuse to ECM at right side next to battrey with red and orange wires
