1 fuel injector not working

#1 fuel injector not working, but I can switch wiring harness and #1 will work and #2 will not. Have 12volt to both and pulse signal seem the same. Have replaced both injectors, no change. Can't find any bad wiring and no visable sign of loose or burnt components on the ECM. Hope someone knows or has had this happen before. No warning or performance problems until it just happened.

SOURCE: 89 s10 2.5 has fuel and fire injector has power but no pulse

injector pulse is just controlled by the ecm or computer as some would say,u said u replaced wires? did u have a fire or melt wires? ecm is known to go bad on these,had a few of these trucks back in the day.

SOURCE: 1987 chevy s10 2.5l tbi will not start. changed

That eliminates the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. Have you checked the fuel injector itself for an open winding or stuck valve plunger? There should not be a steady 12 volts to the injector--if good injector, it would be spraying fuel steadily into the throttle body. But at least the engine should try to run if poorly. Take the injector out, dry it off with air, and intermittently apply 12 volts to one terminal while grounding the other. You should hear a click from inside every time you touch 12 volts. If not, replace it. If it does, it may be plugged with debris. Try blowing through it in reverse with compressed air.

SOURCE: 1987 chevy s10 fuel injector problem. Install new

Check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve, you should have 13 to 13.5psi, anything other then that will give you problems in the GM TBI. If the pressure is bad, then you may have to replace the fuel pressure regulator at the bottom of the TB. 
Good luck and keep me posted.

SOURCE: 90 k1500 tbi no fuel from injectors

from the sounds of it its going to be one of 3 things 1) the injector is bad or 2) there is no power getting to the injector 3) bad relay switch.

1) to find out if the injector is good. pull the injector out and with some wire ground one side and touch the other side to your battery, every time you tap the wire to the bat you should here the injector click..

2) if injector is good get a test light and test to see if power is coming out of the wires that go to injector( on some vehicles you have to have the motor turning over befor power is sent through wire, so have someone turn the key while you check the wires with test light)

Testimonial: "Thanks for the quick response and advice. I am on the hunt for the problem and you helped me close some doors to narrow my search."

Hi I have a 2004 mustang gt and we change the fuel pump and fuel filter and then we check the injectors with a tester and bank 1234 on the passenger side is out and 5678 on the left side is on and ain't no...

Sounds like the power splice to bank one is lost. By injection tester, do you mean a noid light?

Do you understand how the fuel injection circuit works? When the ignition key is in the on position, all of the injectors will have constant battery voltage applied to them. Bank 2 (#'s 5,6,7,8) is good- they are all pulsing. The same power wire is spliced to all 8 injectors. The other wire at each injector is the ground wire, and each ground wire goes separately into the engine computer to be internally grounded for a split second. That is the pulse of the injector, and is when it sprays fuel into the cylinder.

So think about it. Your 5,6,7,8 is working right, but 1,2,3,4 are not pulsing. Not likely 1234, all 4 separate ground wires, just went bad like that. More likely that 1234 not getting voltage to them through that common hot wire. You can check it real fast: check for voltage on any injector connector on bank 1, with the key in ON. The inj. connector only has two wires, a power and a ground wire. One of them should be hot in on. If no power on bank 1 injectors, trace it back to the engine harness. Somewhere, the power wire will splice off between bank 1 and bank 2.

89 pickup 22re. no fire on no. 1 cylinder

It could be a fault in the wiring for #1 injector, or a defective spark plug in #1.

All four injectors have a hot wire to them with key on, the same black with red stripe wire is spliced to all four. Check if #1 has this hot wire with key on. The injector ground wire for #1 and #3 is a white wire with red stripe. These two ground wires splice together before the ground wire enters the computer. So the computer pulses #1 and #3 injectors simultaneously. (Injectors 2 and 4 have a similar set up, with a white wire being their ground.) If you have a hot wire to #1 injector, but no pulse on it, but #3 injector is pulsing (putting fuel into the cylinder), then the ground wire for #1 may be broke before it connects with the #3 injector ground. The wires and the splice are probably buried inside the engine wiring harness, so one could check for continuity on the ground side for 1 and 3. With key off, use an ohmmeter and check resistance between the grounds for #1 injector connector and #3-check on the harness side of the injector connectors-it should show low resistance-low ohms value. If very high resistance is shown, trace the ground wire from #1 injector.

1989 caprice with 350 tbi injectors won't pulse anymore

If you have spark, the computer is getting the signal to pulse the injectors.
If you have power but no ground pulse, you may have fried the driver in the computer again.
You could get a used computer from a junk yard to test it.
There could be a short in one of the injectors or the harness at the computer, or a break in the circuit from the computer, and that could kill the driver in the computer.

1989 chevy 2.8l v6 MPFI injectors have no signal on the noid light. The car starts with starting fluid sprayed into intake and actually runs until starting fluid is consumed. if I place a rag in the intake...

look for a bad ground, you can try running a new ground from the battery to the body, i had an 89 corsica that would not fire until i ran the new ground wire.

Misfire from cylinder 1 and fuel injection stuck open

One problem will cause another in this case. You can try to just change the fuel injector in the number 1 cylinder and see if the misfire straightens out.

You can use a test light to see if there is a pulse in the wire harness to the number 1 injector. Or there are plug-in lights which attach to the head of the injector harness to show firing of the injectors. Either way, th pulse should be a timed intermittent burst to that 1 cylinder when it is time to fire, just a spark goes to a sparkplug in intermittent bursts.

The crankshaft or camshaft sensor should send divided, pulsed signals to open the injector for fuel release. If the injector is jammed so that it does not go back to its seated position, you will get excessive fuel inside the engine when it is off. The fuel will bleed down into the crankcase and dilute the oil over time. This ruins an engine.

The fuel system normally remains pressurized and when the engine is turned off; the fuel will leak into the cylinder that is not shut. You may have to change the sparkplug as it can be gas-fouled by now. An oil change would be a good idea after you change the injector.

1 fuel injector not working

It is either a wiring problem to the injector or the injector drive circuit in the PCM module. It is more likely wiring.
