Hi! Have you tried checking on the PCM (powertrain control module)? The PCM has connectivity on all electrical current inside the car including engine and transmission. If the PCM is faulty it gives current irregularities like what you are in now. I suggest that you swap the PCM first and see if it will still act up. Hope this helps and have a good one!
Now I have two MR2s with the same problem. They crank fine. Neither will start. I have checked and checked wires, relays, resistor, fuses and voltages per the manual and schematics. I used my injector test kit (noids) to try to test the injector firing. Again, one of the GM noids fits the plug but I get no light (solid or blinking). I don't know if this should show anything or not as it is for a GM not an MR2.
ON BOTH CARS -
I unbolted the cold start injector to see if it sprayed gas. I got no spray. I tested the cold start plug and see no power to the plug. I see no power to the injectors.
No noid light. Neither solid on nor blinking.
I tested the EFI main relay. It functions correctly.
I tested the Circuit opening relay. It functions correctly.
I tested the solenoid resistor. It functions correctly.
I tested the injector relay. It functions correctly.
I tested the start injector time switch. It functions correctly.
I checked the timing belt. All aligned correctly.
I have battery power to the ECU.
I checked the gas line pressure while cranking. They both have pressure. They both hold pressure.
They both have spark.
Is it the ECU? I have an ECU from my 89. Is it the same? Should it plug and play? I would be very disappointed if both ECUs are bad. They are expensive.
What am I missing?
thanks in advance.

Hi! HOw was it?
I am still wondering what I am missing? I am not finding the problem. I will go over the ground connections again. With some of the posts on an MR2 forum the grounding is VERY important.
thanks for you reply

It was the ECU. I swapped it and it started.
