I think you hit the nail on the head. Without the squarewave from the VATS module on pin B6 of the ECM, the injectors won't fire. There are squarewave generators available to supply this, you could build one is you're of the electronic persuasion or you can have the PROM burned to make the ECM ignore pin B6 and pulse injectors anyway.
