Hello,

You say you have good spark, what color is the spark it should be bluish/white. If it is an orangish color you have a weak spark and in most cases the vehicle will not start.

Have your check the Timing? Bring the #1 cylinder to top on compression stroke, remove cap and make sure the rotor it pointing at the #1 plug tower.

Ok,

Have you checked the injector harnesses? If injector harnesses check ok. Then check the injector resistance it should be....

4.3L Vin - Z Turbo --- 2.0 ohms

All others - 1.3 ohms
