Have a 1989 ford ranger 2.9 V6. Got a no start. Starts and runs when spraying fuel into intake until gas runs out. Have 40lbs fuel pressure. Good spark to coil. After chasing my tail I've come to the conclusion that it is a ground side electrical issue. Injectors not opening. I have found that with the tfi connector disconnected and checking voltage at the conection all is good except I am only getting 4.6 volts at the ground. The wiring diagram shows it going to pin 16 on ecm. I checked voltage at that pin by back probing and still only 4.6 volts. Omed out wire from ecm connection to tfi connector and showed no resistance. Wire good. Checked all grounds with power probe and made sure i have good grounds at ecm. I thought bad ecm replaced with known good ecm and same thing low voltage at pin 16. So that's it. If anyone out there has some ideas on what direction I should go I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks. Jim
