Wrong injectors, FRIED ECU?????
Well, now I did it! I was working on my '88 vert and decided to swap the entire upper intake assembly (including secondary injectors) with a spare one I had from an '86. Once reassembled, it started for about 1 sec. and then cut-out. I have not been able to start since. I believe it is not getting fuel.
Then I checked resistance on the fuel injectors on the '88. The both read 13 ohm. I was surprised because my '87/86 ones have always been between 2 and 3 ohms. So, does anyone know for sure if I toasted my ECU with the low resistance injectors from the '86. That would be my guess, but I was wondering if there is any other protection that would have blown and saved my ECU.
Oh yeah, one last thing; does anyone know if the ECU from an '87 and an '88 are the same? I have a spare '87 ECU that I could use if they are the same. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

You can swap ECU'S. No problem. Might not be fried. I think it takes a while to knock out the ECU. Don't know for sure, but think it might be another thing.
You might have popped a fuse during the reconstruction. Check the ENGINE fuse in the crew compartment. Also check and see if the injectors have 12v on one of the injector sockets/plug.
Did you cross the fuel lines?
