Default injectors not firing?

i got my project turbo b16 crx completed a few days ago. im trying to figure out why the injectors arent firing. i checked the spark plugs for any fuel odor and nothing. im using low imped. 780cc injectors w/ the resistor box, rywire obd0-obd1, s200b..... i wasnt sure if it has anything to do with the distributer because im still using an obd0 one i kinda have the feeling thats the problem. thanks

rywire sells a sub harness for the ob0-obd1 dizzy conversion. I have one on my car and it works great.

how would the injectors not firing have anything to do with the dizzy. he needs the obd1 dizzy for that ecu but it should have nothing to do with the injectors firing. The injectors still should fire even with the wrong dizzy, they might not fire at the right time but they should still work.

Yeah I agree with you. I was just helping him with the dizzy wiring conversio. If there isnt any problems with the wiring I would think the resistor box could possible be bad. Also is the engine turning over, just not starting? Could be the main relay also.

I would check to see if the fuel pump is getting power also check to see if the resistor box is getting power

the fuel pump works great you can definitely here it purging....... but the thing is whenever ill start to crank it ill take a pulse sensor over one of the injector wires and it will pulse at a alarmingly slow rate

Default

Does your pump ingage? Do you hear the humm? If not, then check your main relay. If the relay is good, then disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail and just turn the key real quick and see if gas comes out. If it does, then your pump is good (it can still humm but it can put out like 2psi of pressure). If you have a gauge on your fuel line, check the pressure. If you don't, get one, you have a turbo and fuel/timing is VERY important for longevity of the engine. After that, check your injectors, what you do is you connect the injectors to the fuel rail, and you hit the switch, your injectors should throw out some fuel. If they don't, bad injectors. If that do, then you don't have a fuel problem at all.
