TBI injectors not firing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in need of some help guys!!

I've got a '93 tbi engine in my '60 c10 and more or less everything works but injectors are not firing. Engine ran when removed from donor car.
I'm thinking there is a trigger signal I'm missing or something really simple but at, I'm a little lost!! Could it be that the ecu needs a signal from the fuel pump to fire the injectors?
I can't find any pinout diagrams for these ecu's so not sure about the fuel pump signal !!

Any help is welcome!

Try replacing the ignition module. It triggers both spark and injectors on a tbi engine. Its common for them to fail and wind up with people replacing the injectors and a fuel pump chasing the no fuel condition. Also make sure you have hooked up all of your grounds. The tbi engines are pretty simple.

Also may want to check fuses. Had tbi trouble one time, bad injector also blew a fuse.

Thnx guys,
@cableguy0: I'll meassure the ignition module tonight. But I have spark so me thinks it should be okay?? Or not?
@Tom, fuses are ok, I've checked them.

Are there any sites for ecu pinout diagrams?

Ok guys,

Problem solved, what I was thinking (ecm needs signal that fuel pump is on) was the trigger why the injectors would not fire!
Engine fired right up
Happy camper......
