To be honest, with an 89, all you can do is replace the injector. how an injector works is there is a small amount of current that is run to a coil around a rod (if you are unaware, this produces magnetic fields). the magnetic field produced pulls up what is usually a small ball, allowing fuel to go through the tip of the injector nozzle. all you can do to fix this is to buy different injectors.

just a question..why do you think they are spraying too much fuel? because it may just be that you have excessive fuel pressure and your fuel pressure regulator is bad. hit me back.

Too much gas. Maybe the fuel pressure regulator has failed. Pull off the vacuum hose to the regulator-if any evidence of gas in the vacuum line, regulator is bad-diaphragm has ruptured and letting in extra gas to engine through the vacuum line.
If that is good, no gas in vacuum line, have the fuel pressure checked. Still possible the regulator is not right.
Watch the pattern of gas out the bottom of injectors while the engine is cranked. Should see a fine mist cone pattern spraying out from the injectors. If it is just dripping, injectors may be clogged.

My 1989 chevy suburban wont start; it is engaging but wont fully start. My battery is good, just did a tune up. Dont know what can be the problem

Have you checked fuel pressure at the injectors ?
Can you spray carb cleaner in the throttle body and get it to start ?
Is the spark strong at the plugs ?
Was it starting before the tuneup ?

1989 ford stalls when idling ,runs rough at idle

Check for any trouble codes in the engine computer, and have the fuel pressure tested. If it is throttle body injection. observe the spray pattern of the injector when it pulses. You should see a cone pattern of the fuel spraying down into the intake. If it drips, or appears anemic, the injector might be partially clogged. Try some injector cleaner in the gas tank.

89 suburban. No spray from injectors after replacing ESC

The fuel pump should be in the 20s. Also it could be losing presure slowly. Leave the fuel pump pressure gage on for at least 2 to 3 hours to see if it is losing pressure - It's a start

1994 chevy suburban, no fuel coming from fuel

Put an injector noid light at the injector plug terminals to see if your getting a signal from the PCM(computer).If not try to find a computer from the same vehicle that works and swap it into yours to check.A PCM swap will take about 15minutes.

If it has injectors it has a ecu, if it has an ecu it has a diagnostic port (normally under the drivers/passenger dash) if you look down at seat botton level you should see a small black port) You can go to any auto zone or parts place and they will scan it for free. You may have a head gasket issue with overheating or your cooling fan(s) may not be turning on. Check the codes first
