Need help starting a 75 1.8L L-Jet in NoVA, Injectors not spraying Options

[wrightee]

I have a '75 1.8L L-Jet that has sat for a while. Its my parts car, but I'm trying to get it running now.

When I got it, the fellow told me the double relay was bad, so I replaced that. Fuel lines were also totally gummed at the tank, so those have been changed, tank cleaned and fuel filter replaced. I also had the fuel injectors tested and cleanded. I had also found a shredded "stray" wire, which turned out to be the engine temp sensor (under the engine sheet metal), which was replaced.

The car will "fire" when I spray starting fluid in the intake. I don't have a pressure guage, but the pressure is sufficient to blow an improperly clamped fuel line off the fuel rail (I had an injector out, and some fuel must've sprayed into the hole, causing a "sputtering" near-start). I pulled the injectors to see if they were spraying, and they are not.

When I manipulate the AFM flap, I can hear both the fuel pump as well as a "hissing" sound from the pressure regulator (but can not see any leaks).

Troubleshooting these type issues is not my strength (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) so any help/advice on where I need to look next would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, reconnect everything that you had removed. Let's start at the beginning.

Now pull the main ECU/brain connector off. We will test these injectors manually, without pulling them or having a noid light. With this massive connector off of the brain, obtain a small length of wire. Ground one side of this wire to either chassis ground or the negative post on the battery.
Locate at the ECU connector pins 14,32,33 and 15. With the ignition switch to the "key on" position, go ahead and ground pin 14. You should hear a click from one of the injectors. After you verified an audible click, go ahead and ground pin 32 and listen for the same results. Do the same procedure for pin 33 and 15. These are your 4 fuel injectors. If you have audible clicks on each injector, it proves that your resistor pack is working, and part of your dual relay.

When performing this test, be sure to not leave your ignition switch to the "on" position for very long. You will damage your points or coil.

Thanks Tim,

I did not hear any clicks after testing at each of these pins.
