    Oooh look, another mod.....

    Fuel injectors may fail to pulse due to electrical, mechanical, or computer-related issues. Common causes include faulty wiring, blown fuses, a bad fuel injector driver, a faulty crankshaft position sensor, or a problem with the Engine Control Unit (ECU). Low fuel pressure, airlocks in the fuel lines, or a bad fuel pump can also prevent injectors from firing.

    The injector plugs do get power and the grounds are not broken from what I can see, I replaced the fuses, i dont have any fault codes for the sensor, i suspect It could be the ecu but at this point I cant justify spending that kind of money for the hope that it fixes a 30 year old car.
