Yup. This bastard's had THREE pairs of injectors swapped in/out of it. They've all tested good for continuity, so at least the coils on 'em aren't fried, but I find it hard to believe that three sets of injectors from three separate engines would all be so completely clogged up that they won't even let a dribble of fuel out, at all.
This damned Chevy just needs to frickin' DIE!... er, wait. It's already dead. Okay, it just needs to go away from my driveway!
Next on my planned list of wasted funds is an ignition switch - a couple of other S10 dudes have had the same problem, and that's what it turned out to be in their case after they similarly spent forever trying to figure it out. But, of course, I'm sure this will not apply to my situation, because my luck with this frickin' GM turd is just horrible. Yayyyy, another $12 to throw away to the Chevy gods! Wheeeee! Next thing y'know, I'll be checking the air in the tires or something to try to make it start...
Ooh, I know! Why don't I just install my frickin' wallet in the intake and see if it runs, then! Maybe some sacrificial offerings? Lay open a vein or two, dribble it into the TBI unit, and see if it runs on blood, by chance?Seriously, I'm going nuts trying to make this thing work. It's almost like a quest, now. I almost CAN'T quit, because then I'll go the rest of my life wondering what the hell stupid little thing was preventing it from starting all this time...
Chuck's on his way to look at it today, as I type.
No luck with Chuck.
He did manage to get the thing to *ALMOST* run, but it's still the same issue: No fuel coming through the injectors. It's getting fuel TO the TBI unit, it's getting spark, it's getting signal to the injectors, it's spotlessly clean all through the TBI unit itself ... AAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
Seriously. I need to either just hope for a miracle to make this thing run again, or just put it up for sale on Craigslist and take a huge friggin' loss on the bastard.
The injectors are, in fact, getting signal to spray - I verified this with the noid lights - so it's not likely to be the computer.
I think the chances of it are astronomically distant, but maybe I replaced two bad injectors with two more bad injectors? Either that, or I have a blockage somewhere in the TBI unit's passages between the fuel pressure regulator and the injectors. Thing is, HOW would something big enough to block it get past the fuel pump sock, the fuel filter, and then the fuel pressure regulator, too?
I had a weird thought: Maybe someone previously put sugar in the gas tank? How would I verify this? Besides tasting it, of course...
