Thanks for the info. But I've got bigger problems now. Came out of work in car won't start. I've got 35 pounds of fuel pressure, Spark, And it will fire on starter fluid. I don't think injectors are getting a pulse. Pip or computer. Maybe my new smart phone will fix it for me.

Check your salt/pepper connectors and make sure injector harness is still grounded

Checked salt/pepper connectors. They were clean and tight, crimped female ends anyway. Do you know where is the injected harness grounded? Thanks

One more thing I noticed, fuel pump doesn't always prime when you turn the key. Maybe 7 out of 10 it does. I also disconnect the battery to reset computer and when I reconnected, I didn't get any start up clicks or noises that I usually get when I reconnect. Just dead silence.

Ok, harness ground was good and tight. Pulled kick panel off to remove computer and found it just shoved in there lose, not to clamped. My car is lowered and rides like a box of rocks so I'm sure it was just bouncing around in there. Removed computer and the warranty tape covering the access was torn, inside was very dusty/dirty. I'm leaning towards a bad computer. Trying to find one is becoming a hassle. Was gonna start a new thread but still reading the hundreds in this forum with same problems. Thanks for your interest though.
