If the injectors aren't pulsing then you already found your problem. Is it flooding? How do the plugs look?

If the 'noid light stays on constantly, you may have a ground in the wiring harmess for the injectors (including a shorted injector).

EDIT: Can you say "Multec"?

Random ECM failures are VERY rare. Something took out the switching transistor for the injectors, and I'd still advise checking the resistance of the injector solenoids. 10.5 is the bare minimum cold resistance for your Multecs.
