Needs to be a noid light. Voltage is too low for a standard test light, and voltmeter won't read the pulse fast enough.
I just can't win....Help Please!

Well good news..... Kinda
Injector 6 is not getting a signal. I pulled back the sleeve on the harness and saw some bare wire showing, it must have got pinched over time and shorted out. But even with the wire fixed, I'm not getting a signal.
What did I blow?
I'm digging in my Haynes manual now to try and find out how the wiring works.
Looks like the pcm. EBay has em, just have to make sure the computer code is the same right?

how did you fix it? Is it possibly damaged in another place you didnt see?
i think i would try to find out what pin on the computer is responsible for that injector and check it first (or probe the harness for that injector further back).
basically is it just damaged wiring at the exposed point or is something else causing it.

The red is always constant when the key is on for all injectors.
When I manually add a ground to stimulate the pcms signal to the injectors, the noid lights up.
When I add a ground to the injector 6, it sparks.
Chasing wires now.

ya id say ya found it...wonder how the hell that even happened
Excellent!
The wire sheath could have been exposed to oil, brake cleaner, or something caustic that broke it down. I highly recommend you either replace the engine harness, or take the time to inspect the rest of it. There's a high probability that type of damage exists elsewhere.

Congrats man. It's a good feeling. I'm wiring up the mirrors and door locks on my fox as a project right now 
Good deal. Nice to see you got it up and going!
Thanks y'all.
Though it's a little bitter sweet. It's 120 hp less than when I drove it last. Lol.
Congrats :beer::beer:
Congrats man. Glad you stuck with it and found the problem. Those logs all pointed at number 6 so great job figuring it out!!!!
Still running good and the rest of the harness looks fine. It must have got fuel or cleaner down where the wire loom splits to let that injector wire out and over time wore at the lining and eventually shorting. Extremely odd timing with removing the supercharger. When it rains it pours.
Amen for SVTP.

Time to put that Vortech back on?
