I Have a 1994 suburban it was parked for about a year .
Now the injectors will not let fuel through I have power to the injectors but they dont pulse like they should just always have power when the key is on.
Lots of fuel pressure and the fuses are good .
Any ideas ?

Yes i ordered one at the parts store chiltons it hasnt helped very much yet.
I have replaced every module and sensor on top of the motor and the distributor from my 1993 gmc truck and it was running so I know they are good parts the ecm will not interchange truch is a stick , suburban is automatic
so I havent tried that yet . It always had a drain on the battery I think I found part of that though while checking ground wires I found a problem the ground on top of the motor at the thermostat neck has 9 volts running through it so im tring to find the short. I dont know if it will help the injector problem though.
Thanks for helping with this as Im totally lost.

The injectors are working good , I took the throttle body off my running truck . Im thinking it might be a wire some where that is chewed or broken.
But Im not sure at all. Seems to me there should be a relay to make them work kinda like a relay for the windshield wipers have but I havent found one.

The way the injectors work is they have constant +12 going to them and the ECM grounds the other wire to open the injector. It only pulses them on briefly so you can't check this with a voltmeter. You need what is called a "Noid Light" to test whether the injectors are being pulsed by the ECM. This is available as a loaner tool from most auto parts stores.

You might also want to get a scan tool and check the ECM codes. It may tell you if it is missing a critical signal because a wire is cut.

Luckily, the fuel injection system on these trucks is pretty simple, so with a wiring diagram, test light and volt meter you should be able to check out pretty much everything.
