My 1991Chevrolet S10 2.8 lt, has not been running well for a while now and what i have learned is that one of the neutral wires going to one of the injectors, is not working right. Can i just ground it to the fire wall?

No, definitely not. If by "neutral", you mean the ground side, that is the way the computer actually operates the injector. Grounding it would would simply open it all the time and flood the engine.
You need to diagnose why you have no injector pulse if you really don't.

mata; This is a TBI type? There is a metal spacer between the air filter and the TBI. It is common for the wires going to the injectors to get 'pinched' in between the spacer and the injector. The resistance value for the injectors is 1.3 ohms.

I guess you mean that i would have to take it in to get check, but what it does is, it will lose power on and off. i don't think its a wire that is messed up becouse when i do go throw a bumpy road it wont do it, and visa versa. it just seems to switch on and off when i drive it or it is standing still.
i have already replaced both injectors,

What makes you think that your even looking in the right area? Do you have some reason to believe you have an injector trigger problem? You don't seem to have used a noid light to do this.

Try swapping the plugs to the other injector first and see if the problem follows. Test to make sure you have constant power to one side of each injector.

Also, what was the resistance value?

havent had a chance get a value, but when i swap the connectors the other would start acting up and the other would work fine.

That tell you the injectors themselves are not the problem. Now test for power at one side of each injector plug with the key on.

When i tested for power on the connector with the key on, i did not get a reading. when i turn on the truck i got 14 on both sides. i keep getting the same answer that its your engiene control computer, but could it be the ground, and where is that located at? I also am having a hard time find a computer that is the same too.

I don't know where your getting that answer from. You haven't finished testing the circuit yet.
You now need to check the resistance of both injectors to see if one could have damaged the computer and then you have to test the continuity of that wire back to the computer.
