Default misfire no codes

I have a 1994 corvette lt1, running poorly, computer wont scan, no check engine light, cylinders 3,5,7 injectors are not firing, these cylinders do have spark just no fuel. I think a major problem is this computer wont scan,checked fuses, dont know where to go from here.

What do you mean when you say the computer won't scan? Are you using a scan tool or a paperclip to retrieve codes?
Verify you have power at the injectors in question, the PCM fires them by switching the ground. If you have 12 volts at the injectors with the key in the start and run position, trace the ground wires back to the PCM.
Seems more likely to me that you have lost the 12 volt feed since your 94 is sequential fire, good luck.

Do they fire if you put in new plugs?
Any of the ones you take out look like this?
You may have bad injectors

computer will not scan with scan tool, paper clip, and hypertech power programmer also wont pickup car. Car has 111,174 miles on it. The previous owner changed the ecm at one time, gave the old one with the car to me. I can not get a hold of him to ask why did you change the ecm. So today i will try to trace the grounds back in the loom because I have 12v to the not firing injectors 3,5,7,

Got it, like you I would be concerned due to the swap, are the part numbers at least the same on the PCM's? Do you have a factory service manual to help with tracing the ground wires to the controller?
I only have a 93 FSM and it uses batch fire injectors so posting my wiring diagram won't do you any good, perhaps someone with a 94-94 will help out if you need one, again good luck.
Not from a FSM, but found this in theCorvette Fuel Injection book, hope it will help.
