OK car will turn over, has fuel pressure,spark, and no blown fuses but wont start.Could injectors not be firering, and if so how can I check.Any help would be appreciated:confused:
 
If you want to check for your injectors firing, you will need a Noid/Test light available at any Pep Boys or Autozone.

What else has been done to your car? MAF? Inspect the wiring especially the orange wire coming from the positive feed on the battery cable. Also, try swapping the ECM with a good working unit. Disconnect the MAF and see if the car will start, if it does, then its your MAF.

Report back...and see my thread also, maybe that will point you in the right direction...

Is the injector harness plugged in? What was done to the car that led up to this problem?

Thanks Steve, I swapped ECM, checked MAF, checked orange wire, and test light didn't light when car was cranking. Still nothing 87 GN Champion irons, T&D1.65s, pt61, front mount, alky, fuel pump, hot wire, RJC power plate, 3" DP, 3" EXH, 2800 stall
 
If the test light didn't light....then of course its either your injectors or the wiring harness leading to the injectors....what kind of injectors do you have and did you buy them new? Believe it or not, injectors are the type of parts that if I had to do it all over again, I would NOT buy used. Check the voltage on your harness, if that test light isn't firing then you are going in the right direction....

Also, pull the plugs and check them...if they are soaked with gas, then one or more than one of your injectors are stuck open.

Thanks for the info guys. Well I checked the power wire on the injectors again with a different test light and it lit up with the key on. I also pulled a plug and it was wet with fuel. Does this mean injectors are working. I think they are 48lb injectors blue stripe? Also will a typical test light flash on the ground injector wire going to the ECM while cranking? Great web site, I was looking for that scematic.
 
If your plugs were wet w/fuel....then one or more of your injectors is stuck open....
