If the noid light is flashing, you have injector pulse.

right, noid light plugs in like a bulb. My kit has a fiber optic cable with a suction cup on the windshield to see it from the seat as you crank.

right ok boys thanks for the replys i will check it tomorrow. if no pulse and fuel pressure is ok what do you think it will lead to the ecm/ecu. it has vats but light is coming on with ignition and going out when cranking. by the way this test light is the single pen type not the test light with two pins that plug in the connector
