Default crankshaft sensor
I have a 1993 corvette that will not start. It cranks but won't start. I changed the fuel pump because it was not getting the correct pressure. I also cleaned the rails for the injectors. When I checked the injectors wiring they do not pulse but are hot constant. I believe it may be the crankshaft sensor. Where is it located any help would be great.

Your 93 doesn't have a separate crankshaft sensor.

There is no crankshaft sensor on a '93 LT1. The Optispark determines crank position via the low resolution pulses delivered by the Optical wheel.

just FYI, the '96 was the only year C4 with a CPS.

Did you use an inductive pickup noid light to check for injector pulses ??

You can't just put a DVM on the connector as you are not looking for a static voltage.

You can't use a digital voltmeter to get any meaningful results on the pulsing of your injectors. The DVM cannot react in such a fashion. One wire will have constant voltage and the other is switched back and forth from "open" to ground.

I understand that I used a light and when tested the light stays on constantly with no pulse.

Forgetting about the injectors for a moment, have you checked for spark ??

<AIR> <FUEL><SPARK>

Let's figure out which one you are missing.....
