6. As Max and your codes indicate, your not getting voltage to the injectors, check for broken wires. Did the previous owner have the tank off? Check wiring to the injectors.

@CoolBreeze3646

1. No security System
2. checked the fuel line and cleaned it out when i removed injectors
3. replaced the entire fuel pump assembly with a new
4. new pressure regulator in the fuel pump assembly
5. engine vales? no. fuel check valve? new with fuel pump assembly
6. I've been checking for loose harnesses, damaged/crimped wires. nothing.

Thank You! Really appreciate your input. Sure hoping i can get this figured out today so i can it on the road this weekend.

At the harness, fuel pump harness (male side) it looks like im getting about 6v when the relay clicks on.. then quickly off. 12v at the fuse.

how are you checking that voltage on the fuelpump harness? Check it two ways, one with the red lead on the hot and black leaad to the groun on the engine or transmission, then check it with the red and black leads in the harness. And check that jack @Max Headflow show you to check.

Checked voltage to harness. Grounded both to tranny and ground terminal inside harness. Getting 12v

also jumped the fuel pump at the connector. Pump primed.

ran diag again, now getting:
P0107 - map sensor
P0113 - IAT voltage
P0118 - ET sensor
P0122 - TPS low
P0261 - front injector
P0263 - rear injector
P1004 - system relays closed

Now it sounds like that connector is unplugged.

I’ve been unplugging harnesses and inspecting wires, looking for shorts. Codes likely resulting from that.

no ecm code anymore but stumped why I’m getting power at the battery side of the fuel pump harness and can jump the pump off from the pump side but can’t get power to the pump when connected.

when you say you jumped the pump, you mean you ran a hot wire to the pump?

Yeah. Ran a hot wire to pump and ground at the pump side harness.

plug back in everything , spray out all the connectors with electric cleaner, and try it, if it still dont work, check the ecm ground stud, also , if it dont work, take a wire and run it directly from the system relay ,orange/grey wire, to the fuel pump connector hot side. If that dont work run a ground from the fuel pump connector to transmission ground or chassis ground ( black wire)
