Car trouble
I'm back, Thanks to everyone that is helping me out. Refresh: 1988 anna, runs sometimes & don't run sometimes. Throws a 46 code, All of the injectors show 16 ohms, cold start valve shows 4 ohms. 12 volts at the injectors also. Disconnected the MAF still won't start. Spray starting fluid in the TB & its runs for a few seconds. New plugs & fuel pump also. Sounds like the injectors are shutting down. I'm banging my head against the wall.
What's next?

do a fuel injector balance test.you may have to bring this to someone that has these tools.you pulse the injector manually with a fuel pressure guage and see what kind of drop in pressure you have.that would tell you if you have pluged injectors or they are leaking down.hope this helps

This problem runs intermittently, start it up it would run great go somewhere, shut it off it might start. Sometimes you have to wait 5,10,30 mins. whatever it takes then it will start. Sometimes it will start right up. could this be the vats module? Always throws a 46 code when it won't start.
