As the title says I am getting spark but no fuel.

1997 GST. Stock.

I got the car not running.

From what I have done so far.

The fuel pump turns on, sometimes when the key is turned to the On position, the relays also Click sometimes.

When I wire the fuel pump seperate to the battery it works all the time and seems to sound normal.

I even swapped relays and made no difference.

I have not confirmed it, but I do not think the Fuel Injectors themselves are working.

I did swap resister packs, and no luck... I will do a multimeter test while I crank to see if they are getting voltage and a ground.

Right now I assume the ECU is bad, but do 2g's have a cam and crank sensor ??? I have not looked into this, but I know for a fact 1g's only have a cam sensor.
 
2gs have both cam and crank sensor. You can test the injectors by using a 9v battery on the terminals to hear if they click. I would also Ohm test the resistor pack and verify that the wires are not broken. You can even test the wires back to the ECU as well. Looking at the ECU board would be a good idea as well before you tear apart the timing side of the motor to get to the sensors.
 
Well IN testing stuff I locked up my motor, so now I got to drop a different one in LOL. Yea but which one controls the fuel? Crank conrols the ignition right?
