Default injectors sometimes not pulsing

what would cause my renix 4.0 to run good. but when you shut it off and wait a few seconds and try to start it the injectors are not pulsing?

Okay, got you....
Have seen this somewhere else.
Go to the info threads and look into Cruisers renix tips, you will need to do some but all would be good. Namely the C101 connector I believe?

Glad to see you posted this in a thread.

Isn't your CPS output still low?

Have you tried wiggling the injector harness where it comes from the firewall to the back of the head and see if that gets it to restart? It could be chafed right there.

Old trick he heard about where you take a long screwdriver and rap it with a hammer as it rest on the CPS bracket, driving the CPS closer to the flywheel.
