I"ll double check all the fuses again tomorrow, might have over looked one. The motor that is in the burb now. Was a running motor ran great actually besides the miss from #6. But I fixed all that, even put in a new timing set in. gears and chain. If I'm getting fire, and fuel (at least to the injector). to me my next step would be to see if the injectors are getting the signal from the wiring harness to see if their firing. BUt I am not sure exactly how to check that. can you check with a test light? Lets say, all fuses are good, but no fire from the plug. What would cause that? Bad ECM?
