I believe the ecm looks for crankshaft speed (cps) and sync signal (not manditory)to begin injector sequence unless wide open throttle is detected. Tell me your not mashing the gas when trying to start thus possibly shutting injector pulse off.

Another possibility comes to mind. The ecm looks for 300 rpms (cps) before starting the injector squence. Does you motor crank somewhat slow?

the motors cranks good the weird part is it will start and run and drive fine but if you shut it off it wont start back until after it sits a while and when it wont start its because the injectors arent pulsing
