Default Another LY6 no injector pulse thread

Every now and then it will pulse the injectors while cranking and fire up, then die. When it does pulse, it's just once.

Spark is good. Grounds are good. Vats is turned off. Battery tested good. Painless 60526 gen 4 harness, tuned mail order for now.

Would love some more ideas. Thanks.

Power is lost when key is released?? Has to be hot in start AND run key position.
Injs are sticky from sitting?
Rpm signal when cranking? No sig, no fp turn on.

Thank you for the response.

I have temporarily connected the ignition wires from the harness straight to the battery to assure they have enough power and not interupted while cranking.

The engine fires up when I get an occasional single pulse at the injectors while cranking, so I have temporarily ruled out the injectors. I am looking for pulses with a noid light pluged into the harness. When I get a single pulse, the engine fires.

I have a fuel pressure gauge hooked up to the rail. When it cranks, the fuel pump turns on and I get 58psi. When I stop cranking the pressure drops to 55psi and holds.

If I squirt a little gas into the intake the engine will fire and burn that fuel, so I have ruled out spark as well.

Do I need it hooked up to efi live or hp tuners to check rpm signal?

Any input would be appreciated!

My tuner has checked the computer twice to verify vats is turned off. I am getting codes 0010 and 0315.

If oil pressure sender is disconnected, will this keep engine from starting?

Sounds like you should have got one of our harness's. They don't have something right there.

I am telling you, I am 99% sure it is the harness. I can fix it for $150.

If the injectors are sticky then, why does it fire up when I get a single injector pulse? I'm not getting pulse at the injector and with out that, I could have brand new injectors and it still wouldn't fire.

As far as the problem being in the harness, could be and I might take you up on that. I am going to have my guy at Vengeance look at it first, since they are already involved. I was hoping there was something I could do myself but probably not.

Did you find out what the problem was? I am having a similar problem, only I am having just an occasional pulse on just 2 injectors. The rest pulse just fine.

How did you end up fixing this? I get the same problem.. initial injector pulse and it fires up for about 1 second then putters out and hptuners shows zero pulse after that 1 blip. And VATS is off.

Thanks!
Joe

Sorry Joe,

I'm not subscribed to my own thread. The issue was a faulty cam position sensor and what I was told by my tuner was that the pcm was looking for the bcm in order to run. He did fix the issue with HP tuners.
