85 MPFI fuel problem


Recommended Posts

I get good spark and engine runs briefly. The ecm blinks 1 long two short then repeats. I have hooked up the fuel pump directly to battery (both ways, I hope that didn't mess it up) It still won't start. Thanks for you input! This vechicle has been sitting for a long time, but ran good then. I have drained fuel, and added fuel system (water) cleaner and injecter cleaner.

I would try pouring a little gas down the throttle body. That should give it enough gas to fire a couple times, and allow the fuel pump to get fuel to the engine.

 

The 1985 FSM says that code 12 is the starter switch. Check pin 9 on the ECU (Black wire with White stripes) for 12+ V when the ignition is in start. (There should only be one wire that is black with white stripes going to the computer)

 

If it is an automatic, there may be a problem with the inhibitor switch, otherwise the harness is open somewhere.
