I replaced BOTH injectors with 550cc oval plugs (I bypassed the resistor pack). The car tries to start fast but it shuts down after two seconds. It's like when the afm is disconnected (But it is not)

I got plenty of spark on the trailing and none on the leading when cranking. Is that normal?

Here is a thought, how long was your car sitting while you did the motor? Gas goes bad after a while, you might has sucked up the good stuff and now all the crap that was sitting in your tank is now in your lines. Just a thought.

By the way I have never been able to read the codes out of my ecu... I did it to my friend's 87 and my 87 does not wanna put out any codes and I even unplugged sensors on purpose to see if it would detect but nothing... Could it be the water temp sensor? Could it be tps? It starts for like a second and dies... Bad afm?

You sure have somethign that sounds like fuel starvation to me:

check that your lines are not backwards...supply comes off the fuel filter, up to the vacuum rail, front nipple, where it feeds the primary fuelrail. Return comes out of the fuel pressure regulator, on 2ndary rail, and back into the vacuum rail, where it comes out again as the rear nipple, and goes to the firewall to another metal nipple as the return.

check your fuel pump.

check your vacuum supply to the fuel pressure regulator

check to see you have enough gas!! I have seen 1/4 tank evaporate in a couple of days time with a car without an engine, as the lines are open to atmosphere.

Again, if your fuel feed lines are backwards, the car will do EXACTLy what you describe...switch them and then try.

Also, no spark on leadings is a VERY bad thing. IF you continue not o have spark there you will have to address that issue...I dont think the trailings alone will carry the engine, thugh the leadings alone will.

The car was running for more than half an hour. I turned it off then it started fine, I turned it off again, that's when I noticed a little stumble in the rpms, now it does not wanna start. If it was running for 1/2 hour then the lines could not be backwards.
