LT1 starting problems

Hey guys, Im new to this site, but was sent over from the truck forum, anyway I have a 96' LT1 (Camaro) that I swapped into my truck and cant get it to start. I need some major help, Im so frustrated with it now. I can start the engine with strating fluid, so I believe that the injectors arent firing. I have tried another fuel pump to be sure that wasnt causing the problem (I have a fuel cell with external pump, not original) I had the VATS deleted from the PCM so I dont believe that is a factor either, not completely sure though. I have an LS1 MAF, but the tables were corrected for that as well, I also unplugged the MAF and no change. Another testing I need to or can do? I read a thread about testing the injectors for shorts, but wasnt sure how to do that properly. Would all eight be faulty? Another member said he had the incorrect wire powering the PCM, is this a possibility? Please help.....

Thanks, in advance.

Re: LT1 starting problems

Find some one with a set of node lights to test your injectors for signal. they will tell you weather or not you are getting signals to your injectors. check your fuel pressure, you will need at least 30psi max of 65. if you signal the injector you should be able to hear them, a hot and ground on the injector terminals.

Re: LT1 starting problems

Ok thank you very much for the help. Im sorry I forgot to post my findings. After hours of checking wiring and terminals and injectors and fuel pressure...... I had left out the fuse that powers up the PCM's keyed power, seems I had removed it before I mounted the PCm for fear of it powering up and grounding out. Thanks again for the help.
