car wont run

its a 1982 t/a that i put a 1985 tpi setup on. car ran for few years then just quit about a year ago and sat in the driveway. i know what the problem is but i dont know whats causing it.. the injectors are not firing. pleanty of pressure. computer has power. car will run with starter fluid. car will also try to start cause of the cold injector. but will not run.

i just did all kinds of crap to this thing trying to get it to run. fuel pump, new computer, dis. module, tps sensor(no signal coming from it) im tired of shooting in the dark

the guy i have working on it did the tpi conversion on it.. and he cant figure it out

the injectors arent getting any signal/power. im lost and i want to get it running for my 16 yo bro

thanks in advance

When the key is in the on position you should have power at both wires going to the injector as long as at least one injector is plugged in on that bank. And then when the computer gets a reference signal from the distributor, it will send a ground to one of the wires. If you have power at only one wire or not at all then you might have a bad wire, blown fuse or something wrong in the ecm. You probably knew all this but it never hurts to be reminded.
