Rick -

I just read over the following:

>>(Recall that the engine starts when starting fluid is squirted into the intake manifold and I'm pretty sure the injectors are firing. When cranking the car if will not even "hit" except on the starting fluid.)<<

The starting fluid gets to the cylinders through a passage normally used only by measured air. Starting on the fluid proves ignition, but not that the injectors are firing.

Bentley manual covers LH systems beginning in 1983.

Figure out a test to see that the injectors are firing. The system works, in a general way, by feeding fuel under pressure to the injectors all the time. They fire with a certain frequency, faster for more fuel. The ECU determines the frequency.

Do you have a HaynesManual? It will cover your model.

Your test of the cold start injector will help.

Good Luck,

Bob
