I have a 1989 oldsmobile cutless supreme 2.8, I was driving down the road one day and it just died. We have put a new starter, fuel pump, crank sensor, and coli pack on it and it will not get any fuel to the injectors. there is no lines stopped up and everything has been checked. It will start as long as you spray a starter fluid in it. But, as soon as you stop it will die... If anyone can help please call me Personal info deleted

Test for injector pulse using a small bulb called a noid light. If none found, check for power supply at one side of the injector with the key on.
Use a fuel pressure gauge to test for correct fuel pressure, also noticing if the pressure holds when key is shut off.

Now you need to use a noid light to test for pulse.

Yeah, good luck with that. You're telling me you have good injector pulse and a fried computer. Who's kidding who here?

What's fried on the ECM board? You better hope you don't have a device shorted to power on a quad driver circuit or you'll smoke the next ECM you put in.
