if the injectors are Multi- Tech throw them away asap and call southbayfuelinjectors.com and get the bosch 3 22#hr. Test the injectors hot if you can 15-16.5 is normal to see on these high impedance saturated injector. If you are down around 12 they are toast. The injectors should be around .5 form each other.

wouldnt that mess it up when its running and if i swap out injector one w injector two that should make a diff right cuz when cars running it has all the ***** in the world... my buddy said it could be ignition control module is that possible. cuz that controls the initial pulse to 300 rpms then computer takes over is that at all familiar need some other advice

I think he intended to tell you the icm will not send a drp to the ecm until 400 rpm or higher. You can have the icm tested at most autoparts store but im nor sure it they can just test the coil trigger. Usually when a icm fails its heat related. You can have good spark but loss of drp.

If the computer doesn't get the right signal from the dist while you are cranking the engine over it won't fire the injectors.

Thank you for dumbing it down, the distributor reference pulse ( reference High) is a icm tach signal is on the purple/white wire going pin D8 of your ecm.
