And, continuity from ECM/PCM to injectors is good.

Last little test - thinking maybe there is something funky in the wires such that under load they don't work (it could happen). I disconnected the ECM/PCM and grounded the control lines for the injectors. When turning on the ignition the injectors fired reliably (well, 10 times I tried).

Really looking like ECM/PCM - anyone know if there is a place that will run diagnostics on a unit (that doesn't cost as much as a unit)?

If nothing else you may be able to activate components to test them - on most models you can ativate the fuel pump, injectors etc and see what all of the sensors are reading. A bad temp sensor can cause a no start on some of those for example.

First day I’ve actually stayed sitting at my desk in almost a month and a half. And I’m so behind on shit.

Hang in there brother, it hurts but this too shall pass. Love the Pet, Love the Wife and be strong.

Your Pet would not want to see you suffer, remember all the good and let the rest go. It's what your companion would want.

But if yer anything at all like me, there is some part inside you that is doing a happy jig, and thinking, "MAN!!! I am learning SO MUCH about this rig!!!"

The only time I have to pay use tax is when someone wants to transfer some firearm from out of state. No doubt, it won't be long before the blood suckers at DOR figure out a method to stick merchants for out of state sales.

What exactly are you working on? Late 80s early 90s TBI 350?

Dunno if this truck is new enough for GM's Pass-Lock system but worth a check. Starts mid 90's. https://repairpal.com/gm-passlock-anti-theft-systems Also, any scanner worth a shit can test while cranking. Put the scanner on Data Stream and check for RPM while cranking....

1989 350cu in Seems a bit of corrosion on the connectors/pins of ECM/PCM. Seat and reseat repeatedly and a bit of dielectric grease and we get a start. Not sure how stable but seems to be working now.
