AZ HELP fast please!!

hey i have an '86 rx-7 n/a.

i just finished troubleshooting and i've narrowed it down to the injectors/circuitry.

the fuel pump is new and when i open the air meter is sprays from the main fuel line.

but the injectors don't pulse???

what would cause this? and what should i check.

ALL the fuses are fine

thanks, Sean

Check the crank angle sensor.

i checked it and the resistance was .161 on both sides of the clip.

how can i test the actual injector?
i have the primarys out right now.

the clip voltage for them changed when i tapped the ground against the bell housing.

also tested the resistor box and it's good.

does the crank sensor have to spin to get injector pulse?

^yes, you need to spin the cas to make the injectors fire.

Check the CAS plug. Mine got loose one time and wouldn't fire.

so if i spin the CAS with the key set to "ON" i should get a pulse from the injector clip?

i'm pretty sure my CAS is good, i tested the resistance as per the service manual and it's within spec.

I've done it before.

I pulled the CAS out(only do if you know how to put back in correctly) Then left it plugged in and key on. I spun it and heard all the injectors going off.

You can check the injectors going off by sticking a multimeter in to the backside of the ECU plug.
You'd have to check the Service manual to determine which pins are the injectors. You also shoudl only test the primaries. The secondaries won't come on unless you're over 3800 rpm.

Also make sure that you are checking the right injectors. The Primary injectors are very difficult to get at. The secondary injectors are quite visibile and like Digi7ech said will not fire untill over 3800rpm.

Likely flooded. You can put a little oil into each chamber to build up compression. Or, you can cut through the BS and just push start it with another vehicle. That always works.
