So I have a 2002 Ford escape. my injectors wont pulse. I have fuel pressure and power to the injectors but when turning the key the injectors power doesn't pulsate... I can spray carb and choke cleaner into the intake and it will run pretty well. Im thinking maybe Fuel Pressure Regulater or a bad rely/fuse. Please help me!!!

SOURCE: i have fuel pressure but the engine wont start

Not likely. I believe the injectors have 12 volts going to them all the time. The PCM then grounds them so they operate when the crankshaft or camshaft sensor tell the PCM when the cylinder is on compression stroke.

I would check for an injector fuse first (see owner manual), and then check to see if you have a bad crank or camshaft sensor.

The PCM very rarely fails.

Section 03-14: Engine Controls, Electronic 1994 All Aerostar, Ranger, and Explorer Vehicles Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Powertrain Control Module (PCM) The center of the EEC-IV system is a microprocessor called the powertrain control module . It receives data from various sensors:

  • Throttle position sensor (TP sensor) (9B989)
  • Mass airflow sensor (MAF sensor) (12B579)
  • Intake air temperature sensor (IAT sensor) (12A697)
  • Engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT sensor) (12A648)
  • Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) (9F472)
  • Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
  • Crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) (6C351)
  • Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The powertrain control module contains specific calibrations for optimizing emissions controls, fuel economy, and driveability. Based on information received and programmed into its memory, the processor sends signals to control various actuators:
  • Fuel injector nozzle tip (9E527)
  • Ignition coil (12029)(s)
  • Idle air control valve (IAC valve) (9F715)
  • Ignition control module (ICM) (12A297)
  • EGR vacuum regulator control (9J459)
  • EGR external pressure valve (9F483)

SOURCE: 2005 Ford Escape Rough Idle - engine code state lean fuel mixture

I recommend getting a repair manual from an auto store for your vehicle. They run $15 to $20. It will tell you exactly how to do everything you asked and also give you the values that should be expected. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 88 ford f150 inline 6 wont start...

check to see that you have fuel all the way to the engine.to do this: pull the fuel pump fuse and, crank the engine a few times to releive pressure then open the fuel line, cover it with a rag for safety then: replace the fuse and, crank the engine just for a second or, two if no fuel comes out it's another fuel filter probably on the truck frame rail that is the problem or, low pressure from the fuel pump

Van wont start, and i replace the starter. you can hear the fuel pump when you turn the key, and it has sparks

Just because you hear the fuel pump run does not mean you have correct pressure at the injectors. Use test gauge to make sure. Have you run compression test to make sure timing belt has not broken?

What causes o low injector pulse

Is that static pressure with key on, engine off? Or engine running pressure? Both should be near 60, usually key on, engine off pressure will be about 3 or 4 psi higher.
If it runs good after starting, the injector pulse must be good. No reason why starting and running pulse should be different. Only difference is when running, fuel pump power is kept on by the oil pressure switch, whereas in starting, the fuel pump relay keeps the pump on. Very unusual, let us know. Measure voltage at one of the injector's power wire with key on. It should be battery voltage or very close.

Fuel pump pulsing when i turn key on

Well the pump would not be able to flood the engine unless the pressure regulator failed or one of the injectors was stuck open.
Have you checked the regulator and injectors ? The pump relay should power the pump for 3 seconds when you turn the key switch on, and you should have around 40psi of fuel pressure in the injector line.

1989 Ford Ranger 2.3l. Won't start. Does not have injector pulse. Has spark on all 4 passenger side wires. Has at least some fuel pressure. Timing and belt good. This was a progressive problem in that...

The fuel pressure has to to 35 to 45 psi. And no low fuel pressure will not cause no injector pulse.The veicle sounds more like a idle air control problem why? because as you stated it runs rough when it does start.Get it to start sysle the key you will hear the fuel pump go on cycle it three times then start it up. when the vehicle warms up take the idle air valve out and clean it with carburator cleaner or even brake cleaner you may even want to do the throttle body itself this should help with the hard start up and rough running

The dash gauges all work , fuel pumps are both good , the fuel pumps wont come on and the truck trys to fire when i turn the ignition on but wont , could this be a fuel regulator

did you check the fuel pressure pump on the frame rail for power and ground? have you verified no ignition spark to the spark plugs? have you checked for fire from the coil to the distributor cap? does the check engine light come on when you turn the key on? have you check for injector pulse and power at the fuel injectors? if the fuel pump won't come on and you have no ignition fire and no injector pulse, all of these systems are triggered by the ECM.

Has spark has fuel pressure but wont start

Does it have injector pulse to deliver fuel to the cylinders? You can check to see if the injectors are getting power by probing the red wire to the injectors, with the key on it should be battery + voltage, a common cause of this kind of problem is the ignition starter switch on the top lower part of the steering column. You can also buy a small tool that plugs into the injector connector called a "NOID", (about $5) it flashes when the engine is cranked if the injectors are been pulsed to deliver fuel.

1999 ford escort sport wont start turns over

Check all fuses first. Then have someone listen near the back wheel when you first turn the key to "on" they should hear a hum if the fuel pump is working. If not, you will need a pressure tester for the fuel system to check for pressure at the test port near the engine. If OK, check for spark and injector pulse (you'll need noid lights for the injectors). If fuel pressure is low or none, you need a pump (don't replace till you check to see if it's getting power). If no spark or injector pulse, you probably need a Crank Position Sensor.

Will not start, ether in the injectors turns it over

CHECK FUEL PRESSURE AND INJECTOR PULSE, IF YOU HAVE A NOID LIGHT. THERE IS A FUEL PRESS TEST PORT ON THE FUEL RAIL. KEY ON ENG OFF PRESS 35-45 PSI IF ITS A V 8 ENG 50-60 IF ITS A STRAIGHT 6. TO CHECK INJECTOR PULSE DISCONNECT THE EASIEST INJECTOR AND PUT THE NOID LIGHT IN THE CONNECTOR AND TURN THE ENG. OVER IF IT FLASHES YOU HAVE INJ PULSE. START THERE AND SEE WHAT YOU GET.
