Injectors could be blocked but i would go with an injector pump or fuel pump.

I had the same problem with my chevy s 10 I got a new rotor button and new distributor cap and it fired right up!! what happens is over time the gold covering on the rotor button wares off and no longers sends a spark to the plugs. A new rotor button is in the 5 to 10 dollar range and a new distributor cap is arounds 20 to 30 dollars!! good luck bro,

Check all the fuses,and check the fuel pump relay,if this checks out o k,See if there is fuel pressure at the fuel injectors,if there is,then the injectors are not pulsing.The cause of this is the pick up coil in the distributor,but replace the distributor as a whole,this has all the components in the distributor,That control the fire,and the pulse to the injectors,A used one might be more economical sound money wise.

I have a 94 gmc sierra 4x4 my injectiors won't work..I have put In a new ecm ignition module still nothing. I have power on the fuse and power on one side of my injectiors t they wont pulse

your testing is no good. (no engine told at all)
the ECM ,only injects using this logic.,

1: fuses good
2: ECM good (i bet yes)
3: CKP and CMP senors dead.
4: if the ECM sees spark dead it cuts all fuel to prevent as seen on TV "CRASH AND BURN" and by LAWs on this fact.
5: some cars have Injector buffer modules between ECM and injector rails.(LOOK OR READ THE FSM)
6: fuel pump dead.
7: fuel filters clogged or it and injectors too (they have 10micron screens)
8: have a NOID light? to see if injectors are not fired by ECM?
the injector plugs all have 12vdc on one pin, do they if not fuse blowN, #1 AGAIN.. USING A DMM, METER.

mostly this list works too BELOW.. (noid lamp fails)
fuses
ckp and or CMP sensor dead. The crank and cam must spin !!!!
if CMP is dead and cam does not spin, well that be cam drive dead.

spark dead, if spark is dead ECM detects it dead and fueling is banned,(blocked)by laws. (fire avoided , win)
way3:
if NOID passes on all injectors (as will spark tests)
fuel pressure gone. we measure it. (bad pump, clogs or bad fuel)

if spark is good test fuel test works.
ever do test fuel on any engine using can-o-fuel or instant start fuel in a spray can, seen engine run for 3 seconds and sounds good.?
RTM FIRST? there are sure more causes, list is common, only. and hard logic truths.

I have a Mitsubishi gallant cylinder number 1 not firing but spark plug is firing engine misfire,engine check comes on for it to start and it has a hard start help.

If you have spark, but no fire, then check injector for proper activation. If good, check compression. If injector good, and compression bad, possible head gasket, valve, piston, etc.

I changed my head gaskets on my 2001 nissan xterra and now it wont start. I`ve tried timing the car and nothing seems to be working.

Check the basics. Spark? Fuel delivery? Compression? ECU providing injector pulse (use noid light to check).

I have a 2000 suburban 1500. On occasion my truck will turn over but will not start, it acts like it's out of gas, let set for a while and it will start. I have replaced fuel pump and filter.

when it acts up you need to now if its a spark issue,injector issue such as the injectors are not firing.to chck that ou wll need a spark tester ans a noid light to check the ijector simply hook them up one into the plug wire and the noid light unplug the wire going into the injector and spin the motor and see if the light lights up and the spark plug tester fires.that way you can find out if its fuel or a spark issue.then you will have to go a little more in depth also another thing do you have a check engine light on?is the temperature gauge working i have ahad a problem with the coolant temperature sensor not working right. what it can happen is the parameters are not right for the engine to start and it wont mix the right air fuel raito for the engine to start and run,this can be hard to tell unless you have a scan tool avalible to use.if you find any more out on the first part let me know and ill help walk you through more steps

I have a 89 f250 with a fuel enjected 460 it started one day then went out to start it the next an it wouldn. All it does is fire but wont start. Ive check everything I can think of. Its like its flooding...

Must be a fuel problem, since you are getting spark. Can you hear the pump turn on when you turn the key to on? I would check the injector circuit, and if it is working, have the fuel pressure checked-might be too low from a weak or tired pump.
The injectors have a hot wire to them-always hot with key in on position. There's also a fuse for the injectors, as well as a fuse for the fuel pump. The ground wire from injectors goes into the engine computer so it can control injector pulse. A tester called a "noid light" can be used to check the injector circuit. Just plug it into the injector connector and crank the engine over. If the noid light is blinking, the circuit is working right.

1995 galant died the other day wasn't getting any fuel replaced the fuel pump the works but car still wont start

You need three things to run: spark, fuel, compression (timing). Check for spark simple, check for fuel (crank over engine and pull spark plugs, is fuel on them? ) if not rent noid lights from Autozone or such to check upon injector pulse. If nothing let me know and we'll look further in to it.

Best regards,
Tom

Fuel Injector Wont Spray

check wires at throttle body. can use a 12 volt test light to check for current. if you have spark it is not the ign module. set meter for 12-20volts. should have 2 fuse boxes on this model, one behind right side of dash at floorboard
