I've got power to my injectors but no pulse signal. I read that my tps should read.08 volts with key on engine off, and mine reads somewhere around 7.45volts. Could that be my problem with my injectors? What controls my pulse signal to the injectors?

Where exactly is the ground for the computer located, where does it run, directly from the battery neg terminal to where?

Are you reading your TPS correctly? If so, look for a shorted TPS causing your concern (known problem)

But one wire should be 5v, other should be around 0.8 volts and one should be ground.

Pulse comes from distributor and pip signal from ignition module

I'll have to double check myself on the tps readings. Could you tell me which color are the wires I'm looking for? But I just replaced the ICM and I still have no pulse signal.

I beleive the following are true

A=BLK (ground)
B=GRN (signal)
C=ORG ( 5V ref)

This I saw on another site, as I don't have access to repair manuals that old anymore :-(
