Looks like i'm off to town for a battery for the meter.. Again guys thanks so much for the many good points of view..


Also on a side note I have a friend bringing over his scanner for the diagnostic port will this tell me anything ???
I'll put together a basic measurement diagram later tonight - this should help you to troubleshoot. I hate guessing and once you have check list it will make it simpler to troubleshoot further.

Scanner
The ALDL will not tell you why injectors are not firing. On the other hand 7747 ECM will give you sensor data. Injector functionality is not monitored by early ECM - we are talking '80 high tech here (PC-AT, remember those 8086??)
