87 TPI Iroc camero wont start after sitting
I have a 87 TPI Iroc Camero that was running fine and then sat for over a year and now wont start. It has fuel up to the rails and it will start if I squirt fuel in the intake but then dies. It runs as long as long as I spay fuel in the intake. I am getting fuel up to the TPI but that is as far as it goes. What would be the most common thing and so forth. Thank you

Injector pulse checked with a noid light ?
Have you tested actual fuel pressure ?

I would guess your injectors are not functioning. Like tuned said check to make sure you have injector pulse.

I will pick up a noid light and check that tonight, I did a ohm test and had 17.1 at all injectors except one which was 20.1 but will check with a noid light and post my findings. Thanks for the fast reply's guys

It might be the icm regardless that you have spark. The purple/white wire that goes to the ecm controls injector pulse. Check your injector fuses.

Re: 87 TPI Iroc camero wont start after sitting
it's an FI issue. i had rats chew the wires on my 86 bronco. pissed me right off. i din't notice at first and replaced both fuel pumps. the entire harness was destroyed feeding electricity to the injectors.
