if the ecu is getting the right resistances then it should be fine. I have gone over almost every electrical schematic from alldata! Im pretty good with wiring and electrical stuff, but dang.. it took me awhile to figure it out because i checked EVERYTHING...

there really is no "test" for it. the ecu is supposed to flash a code if it is bad, but that is a joke, you are going to rely on a bad ecu to tell you it is bad. The way I have done it at my shop is, after exhausting every other possibilty to correct a ecu related problem, I go for the big bucks and change the ecu. Honestly japaneese ecu's rarly go bad, the stock ones that is. GM computers on the other hand, wow I change them alot!

so let me get this straight. You DO get fuel? .. so your pump is working. You only do not get fuel when you "tie" the injector grounds?



Did you modify your harness for the PFC, i mean, cut the right wires?
