Default trouble starting after LS swap into 91 SI

i used all the original harness and im using a PG7 ecu. turn the key, fuel pump works and it does get spark.

in fact it starts... just shuts right off immediately, i took off the fuel rail, held the injectors and tried to start and the injectors only spray ONCE. if i turn the car off completely and try again it will spray again only ONCE.

what could be causing my injectors to only spray once? ive checked all the grounds that i can think of ( VC, tranny, thermostat ) and nothing.

Ya it's probably the ecu. I would use the PR4 ecu.

today i changed injectors to another set. changed the ecu to a pr4. replaced the main relay, DOUBLE checked all the grounds, and redid the OBDo to OBD1 dizzy plug conversion and still the same problem...


when it starts for its few seconds its sounds ALOT better than before, but it still shuts off after starting...

are you running OBD0? what distributor is on it? OBD0 ECU requires the use of OBD0 distributor - OBD1 distributor will not work
