I need an iroc-z owner to test something for me
If you have an 87-89 iroc-z 305 or 350 tpi with MAF system, mostly stock, I please ask you to test something.
Others can chime in if they have opinions on hypothetically what should happen:
Unplug all of the injectors' electrical connectors. Try to start the car. What happens? Crank only? Small fire then die?

If the coolant is below 104º, there should be a short shot of priming fuel from the cold start system. This might provide enough fuel for a few cylinders to fire.
Unplugging the injectors isn't necessary. You would only need to remove the INJ1 and INJ2 fuses.

So hypothetically, if I unplug the cold start injector AND all 8 regular injectors, the car should NOT fire at all, after maybe a few fires to purge the residual fuel?

Re: I need an iroc-z owner to test something for me
I've been having an issue with my car (detailed out in another thread in this forum) and wanted a way to see if my injectors were leaking without having to remove them

you can just put a fuel pressure gauge on it, cycle the ignition on, and if it drops off, thats your problem.

Re: I need an iroc-z owner to test something for me
At one point I had a consistant 60psi for some reason but aside from that one random time it is always 40psi, unless the car is actually firing in which case it drops off by 5psi.
Is there a way to determine whether or not the ECM is bad by directly testing it? I don't have a scan tool or laptop to plug-in. Is there a practical way to determine it?
