Default 1982 fuel issue

I am working on a 1982 with crossfire injection. I just replaced the tank, pick up, pump and all. I am not getting any fuel out of the injectors. I have checked the fuel pump fuse and the injector fuses. They are good. I have 8.85 volts at the tank. I checked the pump fuse with the car off for 10 seconds, turn on the key and the test light lights up for 2 seconds then goes off. I put power to the computer hook up under the ash tray, terminal g and the pump does not come on. Will the fuel pump relay have any controll in this? I am running out of ideas.

From what I understand, The key in the on position will prime the engine. That is the 2 second pulse of power you see. Do that a few times until you see the injectors pulse fuel. Then it shuts the fuel off until the ECM sees oil pressure. I would spray fuel down the TBI and see if you can get it to run after a few trys Good Luck

i was thinking that there is injector fuses .you will have to check the fuse block.i also would prime with a shot of fuel to see if it will fire.
