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.
