Default 1992 accord station wagon no injectors

in the dead of cold put on 2/10/50 charger. put on 50amp. would not start. now in warmer weather it seems the injectors are not firing. have spark. shoots gas from pressure check port about 14 inches high. cranks fine. no codes. switched out ecu for known good one from a 1992 coupe ( they did not have exactly the same #'s but plugs were the same ) no luck. am wondering if maybe i burned out the electronics buried in the distributor? have not had chance to swap them with the ones from my other good car. there are also some other modules connected to the pgim that i do not what they do. one has two wires that run into the plastic rail protecting the wires to the injectors. do ot know what that does? any help would be appreciated. send me in the right direction.. thanks, david

Unlikely since you have spark. Does the engine attempt to start when starter fluid is sprayed in the throttle body while cranking?

The main relay controls the fuel pump and the injector firing I believe. I would swap your other main relay over and see if that fixes it.

When you put the charger on the battery - were the cables still hooked up?

Anyway - one of the wires to the injector is "hot" when the key is on. Test for voltage. Then as you/someone cranks the car the "other wire" to the injector should "pulse" to ground - Does it?

yes, the cables were hooked up. weather has been bad here and haven't had a chance to swap the main relay. i forgot or didn't know that the relay controls both the fuel pump ( i do have pressure in the system able to shoot a stream of gas about a foot up thru the pressure testing hole, i don't have pressure gauge though) and the injectors. i will do the swap when i won't get rained on while doing it. i had problem with that relay before a couple years ago but it was related to the fuel pump not activating not the injectors. thanks for your input. david
