The temp 2 sensor has one wire to the sensor, the other goes to ground. A
wire may be broken in the harness. Try connecting another ground to it.

Injectors are working fine, tested...  and spaying fine.... but thanks, 
i will double check just in case....

Grounds were check and cleaned... like everything else.... like i said, 
the only false readind was the temp2, but this one was replace... and 
it's still giving me a bad reading.... wire to the ECU was replace, 
reading good... but still no start...
