it has a throtal body. it's not injected. i shorted the oil pressure sending unit with a paper clip it has 3 wires i shorted the 2 across from each other and turned the key on after reconnecting the fuel line, it started right up. beleive me i don't want to have to take down that pan. it's an apv with 160k on it.
