bad computer?

me again with the 87 gt 5 speed.

after setting time correctly and replacing all grounds,starter,cables,tune up,etc.i found that i was getting no fuel to the plug.replaced the control module,still no gas.replaced the pressure regulator,same thing.i have fuel to the rail,seems none of my injectors are firing.is this the result of a bad computer maybe?how can i test it,or is it cheaper to buy another one?

Re: bad computer?

i have replaced the tfi module,and the fuel pump is kicking on(still sounds strong)the relay is clicking and i can feel it clicking also.i did bypass the inertia switch also as the spring had lost its value.
after messing with the inertia switch,before i bypassed it,it started right up.once i shut it off at the station...it wouldnt start.once it gets cool,it will start with a jump.i replaced all the grounds and starter and battery also prior to this.wondering if i got a bad module out of the box,or if the distributor is no good.

Re: bad computer?

It still sounds likthe TFI is not working correctly. Did you properly lube it with die electric grease?

So you say its starts with a jump, how are you battery connections and cables looking?

mine did exactly the same thing, before you go tearing the fuel pump out, check your fuel pump relay, its under the drivers seat, as i recall, mine went bad and thats what it did, replaced and problem fixed
