Default Distributor problems

I have a 1986 Vette tune port. I have rebuilt the distributor and repaired the cold start injector. But it only starts and runs every now and then. Injectors are not pulsing. check with noid lite. Cold start injector is firing and motor runs for a couple of seconds. It will also start and run on starting fuel.What else could it be and what do I need to be looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

Ohm out the injectors and check for crap in the connectors. If just one of them shorts out, the ECM will shut them all down. Also make sure you have +12 on one side of the connectors. The ECM grounds the other side to fire them.
