Half of injectors not working on passenger side
Hi I got a 1992 cameo z28 .it is a tpi engine 5.0 .the injectors on passenger side seem not to be working. I put test light on the wire with it running.it seems to be pulsing on one of the wires.however with the volt meter on it it's only about 12 volts..the driver side is 14.i can unplug injectors on passenger side with car running it doesn't make any changes to engine.but if I unplug the driver side the engine changes.none on passenger side seems to be working.. please help!!

Check your fuses. There are two. INJ#2 goes to the passenger side injectors. If it's good, start checking the wiring.

I have checked all fuses in fuse box they are all good..there is one fuse that has nothing on either side though I don't know of any other fuses in it. They have voltage on passenger side but they are not fireing.i don't know of any location for injector fuse 2

Re: Half of injectors not working on passenger side
Injectors are batch fire, i.e. it fires all of them on one side at the same time. If none of them are working, and they actually have power, that would indicate the PCM isn't grounding the circuit. check the wires at the ecm, and see if anything looks odd.

Thanks.. I think that's what's going on..is that ECM under dash on driver side???.I'm not sure where that is located in the car..

ECM is on passenger side up under the dash. It is on a slide mount, push the bottom of the ECM towards the front of the car until it clears the lower ledge, pull straight down.
Stock ECM has a silver aluminum case, some re-mans get painted black.

Re: Half of injectors not working on passenger side
You have a discrepancy of 1.6 volts from INJ1 fuse to INJ2 fuse. There shouldn't be any difference. Did you measure voltage on both sides of the fuses (power side and load side)? Pull the fuses out and measure them with an ohm meter to be sure they are good. While you're at it, you should probably measure the resistance of all your injectors to be sure you don't have a bad one. HTH!
