i just took apart my throttle body, and replaced it with a ported unit. i changed everything including the base, the injector pod, fuel fittings, and reused only my iac, tps, both less than a year old, and my injectors which were spraying fine till now. i also added an inline fuel pressure gauge. i get 15 pounds of pressure, test light shows constant power to injectors. i'm lost the car started fine yesterday. what really could have went wrong in this simple swap.

also after excess cranking of the car fuel will start to seep out the regulator, which also has a new diaphragm.

my plans tomorrow are to try an ignition control module (doubtful it went at the same time i did this) and a complete disassembly to look for blockages.

 

Make sure that your ignition coil Main DC plug (With pink wire) is fully plugged into the coil and the two wire harness between dizzy and coil is plugged as well. No power to ICM will cause no DRP to ECM which will never fire injectors.

Re-check the 4 bolts that secure FPR cover to TB flange - it is uncommon, but occasionally they will leak.

I believe i may have found the problem. i found a blockage in the pod, it was a remaned piece but i guess laying around it collected some dirt and grime on the inlet side. it was almost 100% blocked. bout to put it all back together now. i did check connections and they appear to be good. if this does not work i will check voltage at the icm

 

problem solved. it was the blockage
thanks for the advice anyway
