The answer is yes. No opti pulse, no injector pulse.

On my 95 a bad ICM will cause the PCM to stop the injectors. Throwing an Opti at it is not the way to troubleshoot.

I should start a thread on how to troubleshoot an Opti. All one needs is a decent voltmeter and a logic probe. Easy test.

My left lug bolt stripped and I changed the Opti and it's STILL stripped! WTF!!

Here is a diagram of the connector. Notice two wires should have pulses, PPL WHT and RED BLK.

You need something like this:

It will in a second tell you if the pulses are there are not. A better tool would be a lab scope, but if the pulses are there they most likely are correct. Did you check for trouble codes in the PCM?
