Default need help passenger side of engine is not firing

i just got done installing headers and a tubular k-member on my ls1 swapped 88 gta. i also removed the nitrous kit and installed a non ac heater box. i started the car and it is missing, we checked it out and the whole passenger side of the engine is not firing. we tested the coil plug with a test light and there is no power at all on the passenger side. any help on where to look or fix would be greatly appreciated

Check the INJA and INJB fuses. One powers each bank's coils and injectors. Each bank has its own ground as well.

You need to check your harness for the Pink IGN wires to the Coil (and Injectors ?), see if you can use a DVM while it is cranking and with just the IGN on to see if you have current to the Coils.

Have you check the Injectors to see if they are firing (use NOID light to test). Also powered by the Pink IGN wires.

Check all of your PCM, Fuse and Connections that are connected to the Harness. But I would be keying in on the IGN powered Pink wires.

Was the Car running before ? and problem started after you did the work ?

Usually there are some added Fuse or a new Fuse box that should be wired into your Engine Harness or near the PCM.

Good Luck..

p.s. Not a good Idea to be playing in someone else sandbox if you don't know what is in it !
