I have a 1989 chevrolet s10 2wd, 2.5l 4 cyl. tbi, 5-spd. I have tried to get it running but have had no success. the fuel injector works and i have replaced the distributor, fuel pump injectoer, fuel pressure regulator, hall effect switch, and it still wont put any fuel into the throttle body. also i bought a computer from the junkyard but that didnt work. I have no clue where to start now. before this happened my coil fried and i replaced it but this happened two days later.also im getting fuel all the way to the injector. i have hooked up a power wire to the injector and it works that way. the wires leading to the injector wont give a power signal when tested with a noid light. can anyone help me?

Any time that the ignition switch is in the run or crank position there should be contant battery voltage at the injector's red wire. If not check the ECM-B fuse in the underdash fuse panel. Not only check whether the fuse is blown or not but wether there is battery voltage too and through the fuse; you can use a standard 12 volt test light for this. Why I say use a test light is for the fact that a test light will apply a small amount of load on a circuit and if there's a bad connection this small load may cause it to go open and show you that there isn't constant battery voltage getting to the injector during cranking?
The way I look at it; if there's enough current to keep a test light lit during cranking then there's enough to run whatever device that is on that circuit.
One last thing too remember; any electrical device requires battery power & ground to opperate. In this case the ignition switch supplies the battery positive voltage and the ECM (computer) supplies the ground.
