Re: no pulse to injecters
Yea, these cars sure can be frustrating.
You might start by checking the fuel injector fuses in the fuse block. Also check the grounds by either: checking continuity (ohms) of the injector connector, or by inspecting the grounding bolt on the back of the head.
If all that checks out seems like it is a VATS issue.
Hope this helps.

Re: no pulse to injecters
I agree with skibum, I chased a no pulse issue for a week, turned out it was Vats. But it could be any one of the things that skibum listed.

Re: no pulse to injecters
i had an issue very similar a while back and ended up being my distrubutor. i spent about $300 and 15 hours before finding that out. Just food for thought.

Re: no pulse to injecters
Verify that the ICM is pulsing (test light to + batt terminal, other end of test light to tach). If not, it could still be bad, or the dist could have issues...
The ECM pulses ground to the injectors. Verify that the injectors have + voltage with ign on. If not, chase that down.
If you have +, then you will need to check from ICM->ECM (not sure how)
