Injector pulse miss.

91 speed denstiy TPI. well it only happens occasionaly. cold, hot dont matter, everyone once in awhile itll occasionaly just miss. and then sometimes the whole pass. bank will just lose injector pulse. nothing at all. then itll all of a sudden just come back on, sometimes itll come right back on and somtimes its takin almost 10 minutes or so. im just lost and afraid to drive my truck any kind of distance. Thanks

Re: Injector pulse miss.

I would start with the injector fuses. Then check the injector feeds at the ECM. Sometime the pins get a little beat out and become intermittent.

On a stock '91 TPI all eight injectors are driven from the same driver in the ECM. However, each bank of 4 injectors has it's own wire from the ECM.

Then each bank of 4 injectors has it's own fuse.
