No power to the injectors. Any ideas?

I recently pulled my L98 and replaced it with a stroker. Ive been trying to get it started with no luck and just found out the injectors are getting no power. Its using an accel gen6 ecu that is showing a pulse going out but when I put a voltometer on the harness connector theres nothing at the actuall injector. Any Ideas?

Re: No power to the injectors. Any ideas?

Checked em and there both good. I also checked the ecu and the terminals that need power have it and the ground terminals all show ground. Im assuming there is a short from the ecu in the wires themselves or is there a sensor somewhere that would tell the ecu to not send the pulse out if its bad.... like the iat or map or something?

Re: No power to the injectors. Any ideas?

The injectors should be hot whenever the ignition switch is turned on. When the ecm pulses it creates a ground to fire the injectors. I do not know if it is a stock harness or one specific to the Accel unit but somewhere you are losing voltage between the fuse block and the injectors. Start by making sure you have voltage at the harness connector under the dash and if so it is the harness. If not it is the wiring between the fuses and the harness...

My friend and I found the problem. The ground wires were shorted so we ran 2 new wires from ecu to the harnesses and its all good now . The battery died before we got a chance to get it running but atleast Ive got fuel, air and spark now.
