Well- if the #2 injector will click when you connect the #1 wiring to it you learned it’s not the injectors. Next time you know that you don’t have to send them in to be checked when you can do it your self. That’s progress!
Knowing that the relay controls the cold start injector and not the 3 injectors that are not working is progress.

Next- disconnect computer

you need to test if an injector or wiring on 2,4,6 is shorted to ground.

pull the connector out of injector #1
Set meter to ohms
find which wire is ground
test 2,4,6 for ground on that same wire

all grounded?


now-
test for ground at pin 5 and 7 on the computer plug with computer disconnected.

none grounded?


test 2,4,6 for short to ground at both pins of injector

none grounded?

Think you should check the injector points in the bottom of the distributor, IIRC there are two sets of points so maybe one of those is not working or covered in oil....

Originally these points didn`t have the plastic protectors on them and so often got contaminated with oil causing problems. Mainly caused by people putting too much oil into the top of the distributor shaft under the rotor.....

Hello

so i have news sice the last post
The pulse generator has arrived and change it
So i have all injectors signal now mesurments on oscilloscope

But the 5 cylinder is not running well
When I put out the node cable there is no engine speed diminution wile when i do that on the others the speed is lower
So i think that it was the cable
The cable had infinite resistant so I repare it
To have a resistance (cut the cable do a new jonction)
i also changed sparks from the cylinder 5 to 6 and the 6 to 5 the problem didnt migrate
So monday i think i will make compression mesurments again to compare if the 5 cylinder is good

Do you have any suggestions
Thank you

Would maybe help and be easier to change the injector wire with the next cylinder, if it will reach, just to eliminate any electronic problem.
