3) What are you using for a test light and exactly where are you
connecting it? A 20 watt bulb across an injector connection may mean a new
ECU. Get a set of "noid" lights if you want see flicker or better yet a
multi meter with a dwell or duty cycle function.

5) See answer to 3.

Subject: Injectors-What I Now Know

First, thanks to all the replies for suggestions. After some testing this
morning, here is what I now know:
1) fuel pump is not clogged and is pumping fuel.

2) No fuel is flowing through the injectors

3) With a test light I am getting power to the injectors, however...I get
a steady light, not a flicker as per Bentley (and others). This is with
ALL injectors disconnected and engine cranking.

4) Scott, I do have a remote starter, her name is Clarice and she is 14.
Now I have to take her to the mall to spend some of her Christmas money in
exchange for helping me out this morning-I was getting too cold anyway, as
all this has been in an unheated garage. But you're right, I do need to
get a real remote starter switch-cheaper in the long run!

5) Why would I get a steady light at each injector and not a flicker?
Thanks,    Jeff
