92 camaro, no injector pulse
Hello.
I have a 92 Camaro, that has been sitting since 4 of 04, or longer, but that was the last time it was legally registered. It has a no start condition, and found that the fuel pump wasnt coming on. I replaced the fuel pump, and can hear it come on, and I have fuel at the throttle body. Still no start. I then checked for injector pulse, and have none. I was told that this car ran and drove when it was parked. Ive considered that it could be the pass key, so Im going to stop by my local radio shack and pick of a resistor and try to bypass the bypass. Is there anything else it could be? Any usable input would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
-Bill

Check and see if you have spark during cranking. If you have no spark chances are that either reluctor coil or ICM inside dizzy have gone bad.
If either one is bad ECM will not see DRP pulses and will never fire injectors.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
Check the fuse(s) that power the injectors.
You should have 12 V on both sides of the injector with key on.
The ECM grounds the injector to fire them so power will be on both sides until fired.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
Yes, both fuses have 12v on both side with the key in the on position. Im leaning towards the theft deterent system, as its the only thing I can find that withholds injector pulse....this is wearing on my nerves though, thats for sure

Sounds like the ignition module under the distributor cap.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
Been a while since I messed with this but if it is the key resistor VATS, I believe the Vats knows what the resistor value is.. I believe the resistor values are different for each. Do you know what resistance to shoot for? Heres a good thread with the resistor values used. My memory is telling me that if it is a VATS problem it won't even crank but i could be wrong...Secuity light would be on also I believe.

if the link doesn't work just use search and "resistor". Title is VATS PROBLEM.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
i can almost promise you it is the vats system. i had this problem when i put a 91 corvette into my fiero. i got a chip burned with the vats taken off from pcmforless for $100 and it fixed the problem.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
I just worked through the vat issue on my 89 iroc, it would not crank over till I bypassed the vat with a resistor.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
i too have an 89 IROC, i am having the same trouble, i have fire to the plug, fuel pump is primed and at rail, i have a resister bypass on the column. but no injector pulse...i tested to make sure the resister was correct by taking it off then attempting to fire, pump didnt come on and it wouldnt turn over, so its not the vats right???? how could the vats not work but tell the fuel pump to turn on and turn the engine over???? im at a loss...

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
the majority of no start conditions are ICM related, at least in my opinion... ...

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
i believe "b" is the signal wire if thats over 4 volts then you have an issue w/tps.just unplug tps and see if you get pulse.if you do tps is bad.if not probably is bad ign. control module.but since your getting spark more than likely ecm is getting rpm signal from icm.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
My prob is that my blue and gray wires are crossed in the harness somewhere! Lol, the simplest things are sometimes the worst problems....

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
i have the same problem with a 91 z28 i have.its been in storage since around 2000. last year i tried to get it running with no luck.with all the gm diagrams i started trouble shouting.it seems to me crousion is the biggest problem. my fuel pump wouldnt kick in,replaced it and it got me fuel presure.still no go.checked all computer wiring, all seem good.the injectors wount fire.the computer needs a pluse from the distributor to fire the injectors.the pickup coil generates the pluse as the engine turns.this seemed to be my problem.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
Vats malfunction will NOT even let the car crank. If the engine cranks then vats is fine. Vats problem will almost act like the battery is dead and won't engage the starter. The ECM gets a signal from the ignition control module in the distributer to pulse the injectors

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
I have the same issue and I just replaced the ICM. Currently I have power to the Fuel Pump Relay, but the FP wont "buzz" unless I jump the orange to grey wires, but I have tried 3 other relays with no resolve.
-I have spark
-The engine runs with starting fluid
-Fuel Pump only works with jump
-Fuel Inj. Fuse ok (All fuses ok)

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
Thank you for the reply! I will share my thoughts and please feel free to comment:
-Tried 3 different relays....I'm not sure that's the cause, but it doesn't explain the fuel pump issue.
-I was thinking of installing a Fuel Press. Gauge in-line...maybe it's time
-My next step was to replace the filter, but since the Fuel Pump issue was still pending, I was going to wait (thoughts?).
THe fuel in the tank is as new as yesterday. Tank was low so I added 5 gal.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
Any updates on this guys?? I recently bought an 87 iroc with a 5.7 tpi in it and the car has been sitting since 06 and it sounds like ive got the exact same problem and cant seem to figure out whats wrong?😕

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
I think I narrowed it down to the pickup coil was gone. Fuel pump to. When the pickup coil goes, the distributor doesn't send the voltage signal back to the computer, and the computer in return doesn't put out an injector pulse.

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
I have a similar issue. 1990 Camaro 5.0 TBI. Vats was bypassed. Unusually not with resistors. but with a key. I bought it that way. Ran up until about 6 months ago. My driver side injector drips, not sprays and my passenger side no pulse. There is also a fuel pump switch. cranks, fires. but lack off fuel wont let it turn over. can this be an ICM issue?

Re: 92 camaro, no injector pulse
If your using a stock 96 ecm better to get a hz modulator from eBay or have the ecm flashed no chips to remove in that ecm.
