starting issues

Hello all,
Ive looked through the threads and im at a loss. i have an 89 firebird formula with a tune port 350. it has a new fuel pump, clean injectors, good fuel pressure at the schrader valve yet the car wont start without starting fluid. Once it starts it cuts out immediately. the only thing i can think is either the distributor or the cpu. anyone have any advice.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Check for voltage at the injectors. Ohms test each injector for shorts. Verify the ECM is running by getting it to flash a code 12 when the codes are retrieved.
See if that that is the only code displayed by clearing the stored codes and refetching. Report back your findings.
