my experience has been to check the bi-relay.if you have no modulation on your injectors its probably that wacky bi-relay.there is a way of by passing it to make sure.but it invalves ripping off the plastic cover and bridgeing contacts.best bet is finding a milano or gtv6 to just try and switching the relay for a moment from one to another.if it starts you've got it.there is a diagnastic tree in the big repair manual that will walk you through these checks.i once had a no starter and ran through the diag. tree and the test told me the ecu.changed the ecu and all was well.

I've been fooled by low battery voltage before, car will crank fine all day long but not fire. If that is not the problem start checking the basics to be sure you have adequate fuel flow and pressure, spark, etc. Jeff Sent from my iPhone On Jan 12, 2010, at 7:17 PM, Kevin Redden <[email protected]> wrote: > Check to make sure you've got enough volts at the battery, below a certain amount (11 or something) the ECU won't fire the injectors. > > Kevin > > Robert Mocas wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Where should I start looking for trouble with a no-start problem on an '82 >> GTV-6, knowing the following: >> >> >> Ran fine when parked a few days before.
