ok so I have recently bought my first fiero.. 85 GT 45K on it 4 spd car. it sat for a while so I did distributor cap rotor plugs wires fuel filter drained all old gas out and refilled with super problem is 1,3,5 have spark but no fuel 2,4,6 run good have +12v key on engine off at wire at connector.. I change the ECU( reman 85 specific) per suggestion of a friend but still will not fire those cylinders.. the solder joints are good, injectors fire when pulled and 9v is applied with cleaner.. I have never spent so much time messing with a car with no results just becoming one with the engine.. what can or should I test or look for? All my grounds are good clean and tight.. fuel pressure is good compression is good.. the ground on the injector harness have continuity to ground.. I am at a total loss here..
HELP!!!!!!

Check your fuses? I think there is a fuse for each injector bank (side).

Welcome to the Forum! Are you aware of the INJ1 and INJ2 fuses? Each bank has a separate fuse, so there may be something wrong there. You can squeeze the tabs on the sides of the fuse box and swing it down for better vision.

Edit----------I came in Third in this race! gotta type faster!

Just a simple ask. Did you make sure that the wires are in the right spot on the distributer?

? You fixed it by looking at the wires? It may not be a permanent fix.

Agreed. A "jiggle the wires" fix may come undone after the next bump.
