Engine Tech / 87 3.8 fuel injectors don't work
Well I checked the fp againd and it was only reading 20psi. I went ahead and picked up a new fuel pump assembly . The car runs great now. Thanks for all of your guys help on trying to get this car running.

I hear you on the buying unneeded parts. I did get the new tps and the car fired right up. But now it will run fine when its cold and then cut out and not run very good at all after it warms up ? I'm thinking it could be the plug wires.  This car didn't run when we got it. it only has 78k original miles and is in great condition for its age. Just really wanting to get this running for my teenage nephew. Thanks for the help

I tried a voltage test. I got a 5v input from the ecu (power side) and the output voltage was 0.14 volts ...lol . So I guess that tps is junk.

I did a search and tried it and it wouldn't work for me? On another note. I pulled the tps off and did a test with an ohm meter and it would stay zero most of the time and other times it would jump between 3-16 or 17 . So my guess is that it is no good. So if it is bad then is that what sends the signal to the ecu to make the injectors operate properly? Thanks

Don't have a code scanner here. And it doesn't run to go get it checked. So you think it may be the throttle position sensor? Would that throw a code

Ok, I will try to explain this my best .

 I got this car for my nephew via trade for his blown up neon.  when the guy brought this car over on a trailor it would only run at idle. If you tried to give it gas it would die. I poked around under the hood checking for vacuum leaks and anything else that looked out of place. I had him start the car up and  let it run for a bit then it just stopped running and no fuel is coming out of the injectors. You can't hear them ticking or anything. I have checked everything in the trunk and the fuel pump works fine and the filter still has good flow. I checked the pressure and it is good also . I can spray starter fluid in the tb and it will fire right up . All wires to the injectors are getting a 12v signal. Before I go buying a bunch of parts I figured there would be plenty of you fine gentlemen that could give me your input. Thanks alot for reading and helping out.
